So I ditched my WAI in favor of a 3" intercooler piping kit.

First:

Then:

And finally:

Took a hell of a lot of wiggling to get 3 fat inches in there, but it's in.

Took it for a drive, noticed I was running a bit leaner...retuned it and DEFINETLY felt it pulling harder. Didn't help that I was breathing the warmest air in the engine bay before...

I also ditched my SOHC crank pulley (right) in favor of a DOHC crank pulley (left). The DOHC one is balanced...took care of my vibration issues at high RPM's.

Consider this: 800 hp is a lot on a 2.0L motor. With 750hp, three-quarters of a thousand you're basically dealing with 6.14 hp per cubic inch. Pressures and stresses of all kinds thermal and mechanical loading across the board escalate to extreme levels. A Chevrolet 5.7-liter LS1 V8 with this much specific power (horsepower per cubic inch) would be making 2,137 hp
