I know I can get them cheep, but the adapter plates are to much, and not figured in to my budget at this time. Easy upgrade at any time.

Got the inlet at 82mm, can't do anything with the butterfly valve.

I've already added the LS1 MAF curve to my bin file. Once installed I'll transfer over the new bin and she should be all ready to go.
