Upgrades To My DD V6 Engine

I've been working on this little project off and on for the past 4 months and finally got everything installed and completed. I hate linking to another site, but it has all the progress pics, specifics and results as to what I've done. Enjoy!!

It does scare the air! Scares it right down the throat of the shortened runners instead on bouncing around the inside of the intake and trying to get into the squared off stock runners.

It's one of my original ideas and modifications that damn sure gets the job done!!

Went out this morning to run a few errands...first real time out on the road since the HS 1.7 RR and SC 3815 performance tune install and all I can say is WOW!!!

I would have never believed the power and torque level would have increased this much in the V6. One real good side effect I noticed was the engine is running so much 'free'er' than it did before with a whole lot less effort. The combination of the modified intake manifold, Grand Pa's Turtle, 19# 4 hole injectors, 180 stat, 1.7 RR's and the SC 3815 was well worth all the hours, work and money spent on this little project. GET'ER DONE!!!!!
