That air filter is dinky! Looks like a candidate for a BHAF.

a lot of things will change before it goes to the strip. rite now funds are short. hoping for high 7s on 1/8. looks like it will get very good fuel mileage. 19 and the longest drive was 7 mi. one way

Looks like you squeezed that right back against the fire-wall pretty well! Nice job. Doesn't even look like it was painful now its done . . .

By the way, Dave, the good ol' boys I used to know wouldn't have bothered putting an air filter on at all if it didn't fit under the hood . . . So don't be givin' Jughead a hard time.

I was just worried the turbo would suck it inside out! Looks like it came off a GM 6.5.
