Bad thing is I trimmed the y boots I have down and now with flat plenums will prob make my boots too short.
Fun.
i gotcha. yeah, i have my s366 sitting pretty low and it is quite close to the driver side plenum. like, its going to be a real pain if i ever have to get the plenum off.

though, if you make your own plenums, just make the tubes as long as you need them! i made my DIY plenums more complicated than they needed to be, but still they really werent bad to fab at all.

yeah, those boots get expensive real quick!

i used this place for mine. i can't talk about how long they'll last, but the quality of the boots appears good. they don't carry constant torque clamps, which is annoying, but their tubing and boots were cheap enough that i was OK going elsewhere for the clamps.

I agree, it will be worth it. The thing is you have to end it sometime or it could go on forever! Kind of like tinkering with a hotrod, you know what I mean there.

It wouldn't matter if it was a one step program, I'd fall off that one step. I have quit drinking, quit smoking, and quit chasing fat women......but I could NEVER give up my trucks.....NEVER!
