Oreo, I though the carb plenums are a bit different in diameter than what we need? The 318 Dodge setup supposedly fits like a glove tho...

the neck if the intake manifold is perfectly 5 1/8, just like most hotrod carb necks. There are lots of options haha.

nope, fits well. you just have to drill the top hole out a bit for the larger hold down bolt. ive got a gasser air cleaner and plate on my truck right now, they are the same size.

This is what I am running in the Stoke to monitor the PCM and engine.

DashDAQ from Drew Technologies

It can read sensors from Innovative Motor Sports and another place called Phidgets as well as a couple more.

When I get the time, intake air temp, turbo outlet temp, post inter cooler temp as it goes in the engine.

It can handle several pyrometer thermocouples at once.
Right now I watch the injector pulse width, fuel desired per injector stroke and injection control pressure in one panel on the gauge.
The second panel has barometric air pressure, exhaust back pressure and boost pressure.
Third panel has intake air temp, engine oil temp and tranny temp.

Those are all on one screen.

If I set it to the most things I can read at one, 24 gauges would be needed.

With a 100 dollar Ford license, I can read almost 1000 truck parameters while driving.

What it can read on the newer (2004+) trucks is almost incredible (over 6000 parameters).
Right rear window down 50%
Right rear brake light out.

It comes with software to design your own screens, custom gauges, and as many screens as you want to scroll back and forth through with the touch of a finger while driving.

And if I want, a couple compact flash cards and I could log all the data on a trip from the east coast to the west coast.

um yeah that is friggin insane. ill stick with the mech engine hahaha. 6000 data points means holy crap batman, what will break next? lol. Today was a bad day, lost the air filter into the belts. The crappy hose clamp broke for whatever reason. New one on order for free. Should be in tomorrow. Definitely replace the hose clamp it comes with or just do something different to secure it. I hooked up a section of pipe today and a mount to hold it in place utilizing the bolt hole from the old ac mount and a self tapping 1/2" screw. It is solid as a rock now. Good thing lordco honored the return, well that and i know the guys well. 119 is the normal price for the filter in canada, 59 is my price. Still shocked at canadian prices even after being here for 2 years haha.

yeah the power steering pulley chewed on it for a bit, i could hear it and knew exactly what had happened. All i can say is i was not too happy with that. But yeah if that filter hit the fan, it would have made more damage for sure, it is a very well built filter and could withstand being tossed about and thrown against a wall no problem. A k&n would just bend while this AEM is internal plastic skeleton and thick synthetic fiber outer. Absolutely the best filter i have put my hands on by far.

Its a brute force aem with a 4"flange, and approx 6"x5" conical. I will get the exact model number tomorrow, the website doesnt show the brute force model. It is the grey style not the red wire mesh style.

your apples smell like horse apples hahaha aka horse**** hahaha. It is definitely trial and error. Dont use the stock clamp that the filter comes with, get a good trident brand and you wont repeat my mistake. If i can wade through the snow to take a pic of the mounr i will but it isnt letting up lol. gotta love snow days.
