Hey Alan,
yeah, I'm not too happy with the current setup. That's why I started with the shroud and not the heatshield. I'll do some searching in the plumming departement to see if I can find a couple 90 degree bends that will fit the throttle body so I can move the box. Once the MAF sensor is in I can mock up the complete air intake system and do a better 'planning'  Panel, so you are getting a custom programmed ECU ? Who is doing this for you ? Rob.

Rob, It's not really all that "custom". It is a Delphi unit made for GM's marine division and they have basic maps depending on which engine (4cyl, 6cyl, 8cyl). It's something my buddy in Cali "farms out", not by choice though, Delphi is real picky about the base map software and the blank ECU's and there is a high intial buy-in. The ECU map is tweaked or optimized a little but is basically stock. An example... a stock Cavalier with the smog equipped Eco is about 140hp. The stripped down version I'm using makes 170hp.
If I get to build a turbo engine next year, I'll probably ditch the Delphi and go with the Accel DFI. Some serious coin $$, but I'll have to run a different ignition and injectors for the turbo so it's nessecary...

HELP is on the way !
Rob:
Just came across your "styrofoam" problem and there is a little trick you must do in order to be able to fiberglass over the foam. The chemical attacks the styrofoam as you have "nicely" displayed. I have been really busy this part five days with organizing a major convention for our church group at the Metro Trotonto Convention Centre so I need to locate the "Trick" and then I will reply. BETTER yet please call me or e-mail me in 24 hours and I should be able to handle this for you. So don't panic and work on something else. Allan PS> My Super should be on the road in a couple weeks ! Question: When is or was the May club meeting ?

Hey Allan,
The meet is tomorrow night. Let me know if you can make it, maybe you can get me the info then. Although I am now also considering using wood for the template. Rob.
