    Go Karting

    First drive. Can’t believe how good the power steering and power brakes make it drive. Anxiously awaiting Miller to finish up the paint and get this beast on the road.

    Thanks Frank Maslowski for the awesome work getting it here!

    Hey, is that a dual 65 mm oval throttle body on your engine? If so where did you get the cold air hook up tube for the throttle body?
    I would interested in seeing pictures of your cold air induction set up, if you can post something or direct me to a picture.
    I am trying to put together enough pieces to run from my TB to the filter. Thanks,

    It’s not. It’s the Factory one, on the 4.6l 3v. Combo of the Factory and an eBay old air intake.
