Be sure to use marine grade plywood or it will never last :)

Thanks Mark.

As for Mikes 10-71 build, its a build he did for a buddy of ours. 522ci AFR 315 heads, 1050 carbs, rmbuilder cam, about 8.3:1 i think? At 8psi it made 930hp. 10psi 985hp.

Ok thnx for the response Joe,---at what RPM were the 522's making peak power?---also, were they hydraulic or solid cams?

I have a copy of the dyno sheet here. Actually we never did see the HP peak. But, at 6000RPM, they made 964HP. At 6500RPM, 985HP. The torque was outstanding though, from a 522ci engine.

Mark, with a Littlefield 10-71 and blower shop intercooler, the air intake temps were about 110-113* in the intake manifold. Going from 6lbs of boost to 10lbs, there was almost no change in temps.
