break out the dremel and grinder of course

everything looks great with my used fast 90 and nick williams throttle body. the tb looks brand new! the previous owner cut out the area for the egr stuff and did a half *** job...luckily he didnt screw anything up and about 3 minutes with a dremel had it done the way it should have been in the first place.

now my egr plug fits in there like its supposed to

here is the test fit. had to do a little cutting and grinding to the alternator bracket and my water pump to clear the throttle body. it all looks good now here are some test fit pictures. the intake goes out tomorrow to west side performance and machine to have some porting and port matching done

On a serious note......LOL!

If I remember correctly, last time I saw your dyno sheet you were around the 400hp mark, are you expecting 50 horses just with the FAST intake? or did I miss something in between?

Nah, last I had seen he was at about 430rwhp... he changed cams since the 400 pull

looks good bro, nice to see you stuck with the car intake until you could come up with the funds for a 90
