They had a couple headers, couple intakes and mufflers, tons of sub boxes and lots of other audio equipment. I wasn't really paying much attention, and was only there once. Haven't heard from Mali in a while...

YET ANOTHER UPDATE:

My Merkur upper intake manifold/twin TBs came in today:

Stock TB on my truck: 52mm
Optional TB from 86-87 models: 58mm
Merkur Scorpio Intake TB: Twin 55mm TBS

55+55=110

:o <my face after i broke out the tape measure


:D <my face 30 seconds after....

looks like i may put those 19# injectors in after all (14# is stock)

oh, it also pretty much has no runners compared to the 4-5" runners on the stock manifold
