I picked up the intake used and it was already powdercoated. I'm not real crazy about the color since it does not match anything else on the truck, but I got it at a decent price. Originally, I was going to use a set of oval port heads that I have a brand new intake for, but I decided to use the Merlin heads instead and my only other square port intake is a Weiand Team G with a dominator flange (not good for street use). The flash from the camera really makes it shine, sort of like Sonic Blue. In normal light it's not that shiney.

I hope it makes good numbers. If the motor isn't enough alone, I gapped the top piston rings for a healthy shot of nitrous. After being away from competitve drag racing for ten years, I've got the bug again. I love dragging the Lightning but I don't want to put excessive miles on it plus the wear and tear of racing it every weekend.
