the pic is of a front opening 4 cyl intake, are you saying the 5 cyl intake is not like the above na intake from the 75-6?

Unless I completely misinterpret your picture, the intake makes a 90 degree turn at the front just after the opening for the air filter hose. The intakes on my vans lacked that 90 degree turn.

Drool.

Have you tried turning out the max load on the IP yet? Might put a little oomph back into it.

You could easily fit a 617 turbo in there with a forward sweeping exhaust manifold, and replace the mechanical fan with electric.

Nice turbo system. I don't think it's that easy to retrofit a turbo on XX7 or 9d van. The passenger floor interferes with the location of the turbo. You could modify the doghouse pretty easily but the floor is something else.

How about just bigger rear tires to get higher highway speeds?
