Thanks Joe.......Cept those wheels on the vert aren't the 99-04 "newer" wheels. They too are Speedlines as well, only the Magnesium ones
On a side note, I noticed you added the "explorer express eaton" blower on your XP8. I remember Tommy talking about that on the exploerex board earlier this week.....Two questions
1). What company or brand is the CAI?? That inlet tube looks huge!!
2). What type of information do you have about that Eaton blower. It might be a thought for the prototype if it can pass CA smog as the Powerdyne is a piece of *hit that is no longer a legal blower out here.....Thanks
As far as your rims, i didn't know the magnesiums were speedlines, but i meant i like the flat spokes on the sn95 style cars. Nevertheless, very nice.
The EE kit is legal, simple and reliable. There is also a pulley floating around for it, to get 8lbs instead of 6. Coupled with the fact that it's like any other eaton of this style and can be ported too. It's obviously no race blower, but adds a nice kick, and is not much more involved than an intake swap to install (although mine was on it when i purchased the truck, dealer installed)
The CAI is from John at Demolet motorsports, i called him up, and talked to a while, and he's like "let me send you something", took a few times to get the parts right, there is reducers at the TB end, but the flange for the Maf fits perfectly. Only thing i don't like is that it sits on the radiator hose, i should of did a quick bracket fab, but this is 2-3 years ago now.
He said he'd sell them the way it sits on my truck for around $110, that's with the filter, seems fair to me. I love how the eaton screams through it.
Here's how it looked when he sent it to me.
Sorry, old bad pic, but it's the only one i have.
