    Real cold air intake thoughts and discussion

    There are kits you can buy to build your own intake, they come with prebent mandrel tubing you cut and weld as you build it. They also come with maf mounting locations etc. Best bet is to search under LS stuff though.

    House HVAC issue while on generator power.

    Inflation .... whats your thoughts on todays Markets?

    Think about this guys, if you had 1 million in the bank in 1975 you would get 15% interest on a bank CD that's 150,000 a year for just letting them hold your money.

    Inflation .... whats your thoughts on todays Markets?

    I'm 50% out of the market stocks, bonds and mutuals were all trimmed up and put into cash. I watch what the super rich are doing and they are selling and holding. I would hold off and watch out in September. Crypto is a scam, it will burn out shortly any long holds will end up ugly...
