    well, I guess no one said its a bad idea. they look to flow descent, Im planning to come out with 2 1/2 and go to 2 gt45's. its all stock long block right now, it will get a single plane intake before it gets going. then like everything, it will continually evolve into a bottomless money pit!

    By flipped do you mean swapped side to side? -- If you flip them upside down I believe there are spark plug interference items to look into.

    That'll work just fine. Be sure to take a look at alternator and belt routing for clearance.

    really similar to what I'm wanting. Just concerned about weather or not they will be a big choke point.

    I bought a set for mid to late 90's. Way better design than the old ones.
