[DeTomaso] Cold Air Box for IR-EFI...was; COOK ENT EFI INDIVIDUAL BILLET AIR FILTERS

[adin at frontier.net]

IMHO . . . Ask Mike T. or Dan J. what the parameters are for air flow  
inside the box. (It will need to have a minimum ht. I believe) This is  
so one doesn't build a box (plenum?) that hurts performance and wastes  
the $.

If the thing needs wing/chainer-bling you can stick some mooneyes on it.

Its back to the cave for me . . . .
