I purchased the MLS gaskets as the research I have done has shown they are much improved over the OEM gaskets.
I have settled on the 1500 grinds, as this car is some what of a daily driver.
As for intake, I am a bit torn. Last night I was thinking, I want to do a modified air box and a hood scoop. Is that crazy?
As for exhaust.... does anyone have headers and dyno data the want to share?
Not crazy. There is one company that made the intake you'd like to create. Look up Gravelsport intake:
Those look cool, I was thinking about just putting a cone directly onto the throttle boddy, Since im not into paying $300 for a painted aluminum box.
