You drove that car in the rain with your custom "shaker" hood?
That took guts!

yep those storms were pretty crappy. Had I-57 closed on Sunday after tornadoes blew semi trucks and vans all over the road.
Too bad I'm leaving tomorrow morning for power tour, or we could have hooked up for some lie telling...LOL
Car looks good. It may just be the angle of the pic's, but it looks a little high actually. we should get some pics of yours and mine.

Yesterday and today were two very exciting days. Monday morning I showed by to Schwartz Extreme Performance in Crystal Lake, Illinois. Jeff Schwartz and his crew were waiting for me so they can begin to adapt my shaker scoop to the new engine. One of Jeff's fabricators, Ken, was responsible for the project.
After looking things over and mocking up my old shaker base it as decided that a whole new base would need to be made. So Ken rolled a new base and bottom.
The only part of my old base that was reused was the upper lip that attached to the shaker top.
Ken also fabricated another piece that was welded to the inside of the base and held the air filter element. I picked this filter element because it is as large as the base will allow. The filter is also rather thick which gives it more area for better flow. It also happened to be in stock at the local AutoZone, which means I can get a replacement just about anywhere.
Another one of Jeff's fabricators, Kyle, helped out with the TIG welding of the 4" pipe that connected the base and the throttle body.
Today everything was starting to take shape. The MAF was mounted inside the pipe towards the the top, just after the rubber coupler.
Tomorrow morning I am heading out to Colorado. I will be stopping in Lincoln, NE to visit my friend Brian. Brian did the body and paint on my GTO. We will smooth out all the welds on the base and paint everything a semi-gloss black. Thanks again to the crew at Schwartz Extreme Performance for a job well done!

Funny your asking that. The temperature was nice and cool last night. On my way home I got into the throttle up a small hill in second gear and it broke the tires loose. I bet I pick up 2-3 mph at the track. Originally Posted by Bow Tie 67

How are you getting pressure on top of the air filter? I know this type of filter is meant to be sandwiched in the filter box on OEM applications or it will not seal around the edges. How did you address that issue? It looks really good Andrew once finished it will look factory, can't wait to see it at RTTH this year.

Real time update.
Why bother having a fuel gauge if its not accurate?
Thank goodness for nice hippie folks.

Just got off the phone with Andrew.
He tells me got the car filled up with gas, and is back on his way west. If you see a red GTO on I-80 in Nebraska, that's him.
Tommy: there is a retaining plate to hold the filter in place. Andrew said he'll post some more pics when he arrives in Colorado.
