Looks and sounds good, I just spent 2 weeks in Boise and Mtn Home what part are you in?
FI would be nice but unless you have a money tree in the back yard ...... I was fighting my Edlebrock 600 cfm for a long time. Plus with the metering rods and jet combo its a pain in the ass. I found a new in the box old school Holley 650 double pumper on Amazon for $289+ tax and shipping. Put that baby on fired right up, set the fuel air and she's running better than ever. Let me where in ID you are, I have to go back to Twin falls, Pocotello, and Chubbuck (sp) in late sept. Hope to see you at the WCR T |

It probably needs a rebuilt. I really haven't had the chance to play with it; but I will now! I live about 15 miles west of Boise, in a town called Star. Let me know when you come back to the area; we'll try to hook up! Won't make it to WCR this year. I've got relatives visiting from Sicily, so I'll be entertaining them instead! |

Hey....I know that car! I know you've put a lot of time and effort in getting your ride on the road, and you deserve a big (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) congrats. BTW are you done with school yet? Remine me not to race you....at least not in my teener, maybe the wife's GT. O.K. let's get together to see those cars.

Still working out some of the "kinks", but we're getting there! Yup, just finished with school... now I just need to find a job! How's your car coming along? I'd like to see it! I agree, let's get together soon. Wed, Fri or Sat evenings work the best for me. |

I was just looking at your build thread and question the airflow from the front. Have you tried removing the front license plate? If that helps you may also open up some of the fiberglass on the bottom of your bumper and see if that helps with more airflow. If I remember the front of the Chalon kit was formed from a 74 on front 911bumper and a turbo bottom valance rubber trim.
Not sure that you showed us the amount of metal removed on the factory 914 nose. It seams that you need flow based on in flow through the front and out flow through the fenders, see what the sq. inches of cut outs you have leaving and SQ inches of cut outs for inflow. Somewhere there is back pleasure where it is not flowing. I do not think opening up more holes in the fenders will help you. Bob B |

I just spent last week in Boise. I didn't know that there were any teeners in town.
Nice Chalon. My son and I are building one. Maybe he'll drive it up to Boise one summer. He works summers on our cousins cattle ranch in the south west corner of ID. |
