I hear ya on the glasses thing. I cant see **** without them. Lol

Intake is a mopar drag pak cheaper copy made my muscle motors. I am not impressed with its quality vs cost thats for sure. Really rough casting. The carb opening is off centered. So i have to have that machined out to a 4500 opening and redo the carb mounting holes. Remove 1 inch from its height to clear my hood with elbow on it. So after all said and done i could have went with a sheet metal intake for the cost of it all said and done. Currently im over 1200 in it and still that much more left. The base needs machining and then port work on its terribly course runners on the inside. Let alone the outside appearance of it isnt all that either. It needs serious deburring and sanding. Also gonna have to paint it to cover the casting color differences visibly see able and unexceptable. Id have done the sheet metal i take but many local heads up classes dont allow them.
Im not even getting started on all the other machining flaws i found once i sat it on the engine. Damn fastener holes dont line up well and are to big. So i have to make sleeves so the i take dont move around on the damn hold down fasteners. Ooph im getting agitated just thinkng about its worth to me it this point.
Kinds wishing id have investigated all this pre work now. Would be fine on a na or low power street build but im shooting for 1600+hp everything must be right the first time.
