Heres an idea for all of you GMC drivers and its cheaper to build it then buying on off the net. Its just about done all i got to do is rap it all in some heat shield and it'll be good to go and man does it work. I can hold a lighter about a inch and a half away and it pulls the flame vertical and it seams to be doing way better on fuel got 450km on 5/8s of a tank (80ltr tank) which before i would be on the side of the road priming the basterd let you guys know the millage when i fuel up.

Only had to mod three things battery cables, cut hole in grill, and cut a hole in the plastic factory duct work which is still active. It is all flashed with puck board from the screen to the factory inlet and all caulked up which probally wasnt the best idea cause im gonna have a hell of a time getting my grill off now. I used a 2 1/2 hose from there to the air box for extra air. 3 inch mandrell bent alluminum pipe to a 10 inch long by 7 K&N filter and man can you hear that thing howl. And cased it all in puck board and plexi glass. And just a heads up if somebody builds one make sure the hood hing clears the box and doesnt destroy it(plexi glass aint cheap)
