    If you are going to track it I'd watch out for the firewall mount reg. Otherwise looking fantastic.

    I didn't like the way the divider was at this position vs vents and venturis , I prefer to play safe and try it that way.

    Is there a way I can keep it there legal ?

    If I put the braket of the reg on the frame instead of the firewall ?

    I am not sure about the air filters, the limited space will allow maybe 2 of theses : http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=SN-2590 they call those snowmobiles filters. Not sure if they are big enough.

    I can also use the T3 flange and install a grill mesh and snow prefilter [​IMG]#ad
    I have that stuff here and it won't let water in and they don't restrict airflow like stockings.

    Let me know if someone have a better idea for this.

    thanks :D

    sounds like your getting somewhere, time to test and tune and fix the traction problem or not, sometimes its fun to leave a set of tires at a stop light lol :drive:
