If I could find a used procharger intake, id snatch it up in a heart beat. They look great, fit OEM accessories and make power. But then I would probably fall into doing a direct port meth kit and be another 3k into it.

So last night was fun. I decided I was spending way to much time on this vac block and just made it work with the random fittings I had in the box because I ordered a 3/8 -6an fitting instead of a 1/4 -6an and couldnt do it the way I wanted. I think everything is set up right and should work nicely. I def see the benefit of push lock after messing with these barbs and vac hose.

Then I decided to finally bolt down my intake. Tossed it on and it wouldn't seal. hmmm made sure all the wires and clips and whatever was out from under it. Still wouldn't sit flush. WTF. Pulled my fuel tubes and feed tube off. Still wobbling. WTF. Tossed it on my mock up motor, perfect. WTF. Put it back on the car and doesn't seal. I was trying to look around and see what was going on then I finally found it. The stupid dowel indicator on the bottom of the intake was hitting the LT4 heads. Duh, I told Katech not to drill any dowel holes in my heads because they would go over the needed thread holes. 30 seconds later w the sanding disk and were good. Reinstalled the middle fuel tube and feed tube ( which would suck for the people that dont re use them ). Start running the bolts down and notice two bolts tighten but aren't snugging the manifold down. Oh yeah, the corner holes that Katech machined in are not OEM. So manifold comes back off and I check the depth. They are about 1/4 shorter than the others. I popped those bolts out of the manifold, tossed some washers between the top shoulder and the manifold and bam. Finally. All the manifold bolts are torques to 89 lb in. What a cluster.
