Cool, thanks fellas! How about adapters? Can I get them from the hardware section at Lowes? Will brass take the heat, or do I need cast iron fittings? Never really messed with anything like this, so I'm in the dark...

Iron. Any decent hardware store will have what you need. The reducer is bell-shaped, and you want the shortest 1/8" nipple they have. It's called a close nipple, the threads meet in the middle.

I don't think they're hugely bigger than my stockers (waiting to hear back from Don on the details) but from all I've read about EDM's, it sounds like I'll be able to use more of the fuel they deliver due to a cleaner pattern/burn. I'll be the guinea pig for this one and let ya'll know in about a week

As I posted earlier, I'm the guniea pig on this one, so I'll keep everyone updated. I've had my truck for a little over a year and 30k+ miles now, so I've got a good idea of what she'll do and what she won't. Heat is my biggest concern, with smoke a close second. Since this is my only driver I can't focus on peak dyno #'s in favor of long term reliability. This summer I plan to skip the hybrid and head for the HTB2 with a custom crossover pipe and h2o/meth. I just can't hack up my old-school grill for an intercooler...yet. I'm such a purist
