Is the left hand side charger really going to face backwards? Are you guys going to rig up some type of scoop for it, or just let it breathe "naturally"? LOL, it messes with my sense of symmetry!

That is so it will haul ass backwards, Michael LOL
 
OK guys, ENOUGH! I am now having withdrawl from selling my dragsters. You guys are putting one great machine together. As you are showing, it takes time, and money. Did I mention MONEY? The more the better. As a funny car racer friend said to me many years ago, the way to see if you like racing...... Go flush a new $100 bill down the toilet, and if you flinch, you are going to hate racing!".....

So very true.

My boss races sprint cars. He asked me.
Boss: Want to know how to have 1 million dollars racing sprint cars.
Me:I said sure.
Boss: Start with 2 LOL

I think that statement fits in any motorsports activity.

This was the best way our header fabricator could make it fit nice and tight and have the least amount of piping. It still looks symmetrical and even, just backwards.

You guys talked about an aluminum
Block still plan on running one? Great build by the way. I am following this closely to see how it works out for you guys. I want to install a very similar build into my prostock impala.

Thanks

There's not going to be any air flow issues over the one filter that's pointed backwards?
