painted plastic intake?

I would think that it adds to reduced heat displacement therefore lower horsepower... anyone?

its a npi motor... you could stick a potato in one of the tail pipes and it wouldn't change the hp output. lol

wasn't there a mythbusters on the potato thing before?
it didnt even work.. it just shot out. i think they tried plugging it with other stuff as well but it all did the same thing. haha

sorry to ruin it for ya

I stuffed some stuff in the tailpipe of my truck, back in the day when it was my dad's. It just shot out, hit my little brother in the crotch and made me laugh alot. That truck didn't have any kind of crossover though.

You weren't very nice to your brother were you?

 

[Jrgunn5150]

Well he's my brother, but in that instance he just had the misfortune to be standing there while I started the truck to see what would happen. Good thing he didn't put his face up there or something, lol

 

[AaRoN]

He's an idiot for standing in the direction the tail pipe was facing.

 

[Jrgunn5150]

He's an idiot. I used to trade him nickels for dimes.

 

[AaRoN]

Poor guy....

 

[Jrgunn5150]

Yeah, lol.

 

[AaRoN]

Has he retaliated since then?

 

[voidfinger]

who are you talking about??? , on a side note, did you sand down the intake or the plenum before you put the primer on ?

 

[Black97GT]

I didn't do any sanding..but the surfaces were in relatively good shape. I just cleaned them very well..got rid of any grit/dirt/oil/whatever.

 

[voidfinger]

cool, i might paint it another color... wonder how red or ford blue will look on the plenum and t/b and valve covers... Bet that wouldn't look too bad.
