Default Intake swap....

posted it in the southern section, and thought I would post this in here as well.

swapped out the truck intake for the Wieand LS6 Intake..









so far.. a noticeable improvement..
going to tweak the tune a bit, running abit rich now, and see what she'll do then.
going to try and make it back out to HRP, one more time,
