[DeTomaso] Which intake to use...

[asajay at asajay.com]

That's an interesting point Mike.  Yes, the one I have has a  
pronounced "tilt" to it.  I had thought of using a simple wedge plate  
to level it out instead of having it milled.  Interesting you got it  
all to fit under the stock screen.  My present setup, just with the  
Holley and a drop air cleaner from K&N, the screen fits tight.

The Blue Thunder intake is quite a bit taller, so I don't think it  
would fit.  Just how much did they mill off yours?

Thanks,
Asa Jay
