So I just finished building a cold air box. It turned out decent enough considering I don't weld aluminum very often.

At the bottom of the box are five small holes. There is another piece that will be riveted in place once the box is installed to stay. The piece will close the gap at the bottom.

Air will come in through holes in the core support just to the side of the radiator opening and also from around the headlights. I still need to drill the holes but I'll do that before I take it to powder coat.

The other day I put the hood on to make sure the air box cleared (plenty of room) and then rolled it outside for some current pics and video...

Then I brought Yelcamino around so they could get reacquainted!

I haven't done any actual measurements, but side by side, I think the Chevelle is a tad lower...

Herb,

I am really looking forward to doing more tuning. The idle sounds amazing and given the size of the cam, it is idling very smoothly. It should be a beast!

It's just the start of a tune. We have much more work ahead of us, but a solid idle is the foundation of any good tune.
