I have to try to get the best for the Monte they were a little more spendy than I liked but should be worth it. Then they make you buy a quick disconnect for 20 on top of the rail kit they look badass though.

Yeah I have I'll need tires this year haha I'll start taking bets on how long I can make it

I got the hole for the map sensor relocate filled today. I'll just have to drill it out and tap a screw hole once it sits. found out it is a challenge to get to the belt tensioner in these. I have to find a tool or method that works. Nothing I had available would fit. We are getting close to sitting this intake in. I'm pretty excited.

Oh heck, how did I miss those pics?? I just flipped back and there they were!!! Thanks!!

Looking good so far!! When it's said and done, do you have plans to smooth the top of the intake and paint it up? Looking at the pic with the adapter mounted and showing the inlet on it, looks like it has steps to change the size of the opening or re-direct it. Any thought to smoothing that out?

This is looking cool so far. The before and after pics of the intake (and of you Monte) once this is done should be pretty cool!! I hope it yields some gains.

I have been trying to take pictures pretty regularly of every step.

Thanks! Yeah I am going to sand it all smooth and use Duraglass filler before I paint it. I am leaning towards color matching it to the car right now. I need to fit it first before I worry about finishing the intake out thought.

I am not sure how I feel about the CNC marks on the adapter. I might sand them..idk I have a throttle body spacer on now that is kind of the same concept and it makes a ton of intake noise...and that's not necessarily a bad thing

I am hoping to fit it this next week when I have some extra help. I will try to take tons of pictures for comparison.
