Crazy stuff Atomic.. You are deff all or nothing on this build. I would be interested to see how close the intake tube gets to the fender with the engine under load/torque. Great build man

Intake tube or exahust tube? From the dyno video it looks like it moves a pretty good bit, but thats ok since i made the hole 6" and it can scratch up the pipe some.

I guess race cars/trucks do not have this issue since solid engine mounts are used.

Are you really going to lecture me on safety? And to answer your question i hated the factory steering wheel. I also replaced the factory seat belts with 4 point harnesses. A roll cage may come eventually. I dont think i killed anything, hole is nothing a couple tack welds cant cover up should i change my mind, and i already explained why thr sleeper thing doesnt work.

i have 3 silicone couples so it has plenty of flex built in between the intake and intercooler.

You need to attach the gopro to the outside of the truck so we can see a fireball coming out that pipe!
