Not sure I'd put something on it with only a 3" outlet, as these V8's suck a lot of air at higher revs!

I don't suppose anyone knows whether there is room for something like a 4.5" inlet tube is there?

Aldo do be careful with the ECU set up, I'm aware of a few sad outcomes on playing with this. Even from people who thought they knew what was what.

At the end of the day though, it's your car, so you can do what you like, but I would have thought that something like this, http://www.kennebell.net/KBWebsite/A...Components.htm or this, http://kennebell.net/KBWebsite/Acces...bracoolair.htm would help the engine breath easier!

Hope you get the results your after!
