I decided to make my own velocity stacks for now. The car will eventually become turbo as I do with everything. So these are being made in a way that they will become part of the plenum later on down the road.

First I turned down the body and made a step downed portion to fit into the Weber where it had been machined by Racing Beat. Then cut the OD and length. I made them 4.500" taller than the Webers with the stepped down portion being .500".

Then I made a press die to create the air horn shape. And pressed them to shape. One got a little slanted in the press and crushed the stepped down area so I had to make another.
