Is there a baffle on the other side of the ports? Are those welded on or what?

No baffle. Not welded, they are bolted in and sealed with RTV.

Final push before dropping in. Have a lift all to myself Nov 20th - Nov 22nd. Off of work and eager to get this dropped in. Then next hard decision is where to put the hellcat during winter or do I work on the racecar.

Race cars dont need the inner front bumper. Just need a small section for the hook:geek:

And the alternator is going to have to come off again to be converted to a one wire. If you haven’t done that already…. you’ll need to if you go with the Holley EFI. 😁

This beautiful piece arrived. If you have a 2.4 and are not running a Kong, you are wrong. Plug and play and allows globs of air in. It will be paired with a legmaker intake.

So how is this different from the nick Williams 108, since it’s a rebranded nick williams. NW one requires a ported snout and a gasket, this one does not?

You're making too many assumptions, this does require a port match. Mine is being ported by Kong.

Really, just to operate? I know the regular nick Williams one (hundreds cheaper) requires a ported snout or the throttle blade will interfere with it. I always thought the Kong one was maybe thicker and the blade wouldn’t interfere with an unported snout

they are exactly the same dimensions everywhere, only difference is the kong labelling and support, if I have an issue, I go to kong and they replace it

if you have an issue with the nick williams who does the support? the third party vendor and good luck with that, watched a shop eat shit with bbk and granatelli throttle bodies through no fault of their own...

williams https://williamsperformance.net/ does not do direct sales

kong has been the one company to stand by their product and my 2.4 on my hellcat can be spun to hell and back and not even break a sweat, the cooling bricks though can't keep up, but we'll be fixing that soon: ts/mopar/noforn readins required :)

I’m currently designing a 2” spacer with custom ic core for the lid with an air foil to direct the air through it.
