Comparing me to MK... Jeez. Be nice!The Fuel is great. I think is reasonable to at least expect people he will keep it non-political. Do you disagree?

Like I said.... 8lbs boost.. and we hit it at the dyno today 
Guess I should be more direct hey. Sorry I was just trying to say there are alot of variables. Such as where your reading the boost from, intercooled, if your engine is ported, etc, etc... Its not about how much preasure you make, but how much air you can get into the cylinder.

Kuhn style snorkels
Yes the fuel filter is brand new. That was the first thing I thought of, so I put a barand new one in. The braided fuel line should be more than large enough, and the new rails are -6. I really think it's the pump, I will do some testing on it tomorrow. Like jump the relay and pinch off the line for a second, that should tell me how much pressure it can hit. I figure if it doesnt jump to atleast 100, then the pump is probobly week.
We may have hit 8 lbs, but I would not drive it like that way without an intercoller.

When I talked to John awhile back at that time I think he said the snorkles would fit the MT cars but not the AT cars because of the cooler.Are you running an AT or MT car and if AT would the cooler have to be relocated?Have a picture from the front or waiting to get the system more sorted out before any new pictures?

You are correct, and a smart man. Yes mine car is a 5spd and John told me the same thing about the auto's. I have been working on my own design for an air filter system, and am getting quite close to a final product. On one design, which is similar to someone else on here, there is a problem I am trying to resolve, heat soak form the radiator. I don't want the air filter box to get all hot from radiator. It makes no sence to draw cool air from the front if it's not cool air. The second design uses the stock 928 air filter in the very front. The third and last idea, uses a square filter and box that sits between the charger and fender. there is no easy answer for this one. Well actually there is one easy answer, but I think it look kinda cheezy..lol
I will pm it to you. It's a cheap solution for sure, doesn't look too bad and got me by temporaraly.

Nope... same size. The tranny cooler sits in front of the condenser along the top (hence the issue noted above), so it looks like the condenser is smaller, but it's not,

Here is a couple links of filters only 2" or 2 3/8" high
A section of this filter would look similar to what I think you are talking of the on top of radiator design.
The links are:

I have a 3.5" hose going from the SC to the underside of my passenger side front fender, just behind the headlight. Maybe you can route it there, the air is cooler there then it is on top of the rad.
