i got them at my work. im a gm tech so i got them at cost.
today i got some more stuff done. i stayed a little later after work and used the infinate shop air and cut off the evap mounting port, and the egr port off of my 3500 plenum. i gotta find somebody to tig it for me since i dont have access to a tig. i also utilized the unused casted section on the plenum and tapped it for a vac port. also ive been working on cleaning up the appearance of the plenum, got some of the useless mounts and casting flaws sanded down... lots more work here..

Actually it's time to brush them up from sittin, maybe even clear powdercoat them with super-high gloss after...

Thanks. I figured you were, and don't really want anyone to copy me, but just thought it was inspirational/motivational to get yours done! Going with a bigger TB? I'm rocking an LX5 65mm unit and it's great!
