And yes I am looking for extra power, not lower ET. Thanks for all the replys.

I havn't done mine yet so no pics here.
The one my buddy did was so simple it made me sick. He just mounted the MAF to the TB with a silicon/rubber style coupler. From the MAF he used another coupler and a PVC pipe with a 90deg bend which was glued to a straight piece pf PVC which hung down towards the ground in front of the motor. A good K&N filter completed the piece. It looks like a damn snorkle but it worked! That guys was trapping about 98-100mph with a 6.0L HD truck. He had all the bolt-ons and a healthy cam.

Seriously though. Some of us just can't see spending $250+ on an intake system when you can simply hit up HomeDepot or other hardware store and make your own intake that works almost as well or better. Some PVC tubing or if you have a tubing bender you can easily makre your won intake. I became a firm beliver when I bought all the high dollar parts for my truck and my buddy ghetto fabed all his parts and he spanked me every time we raced.

I'd get a Yank TT3000 in the GP (prob. around $650 - $700) and a USED Hypertech HPPIII for $150 either here or Ebay. $800-$850 = -8 to 9 tenths in the quarter. Or, you could try one of the TCI sf3000 converters for $400, the used HPPIII for $150, a free flowing muffler for about $100 installed, and still have $150 left for air intake parts and whatnot.
