When I did mine I used one quart of both the epoxy  and the catalyst. I used all of it. Did you degree your intake and all that? I'm sure u kno as I did a ton of research  before doing the install. I also roughed up the area around the intake cut out for the epoxy to bed into. Use tape on the outside perimeter to tool to so when u peel it off ul have a nice strait line it'll make your intake look really nice. It's a little messy but if your careful Itl come out tits

The suction surface should be 4* to the strakes right next to the shoe.  The front of the intake should be slightly above the keel so that you can blend the transition of the glass into the intake.  If the front of intake hangs below the glass, while the suction surface is at 4* to the stakes, raise the entire intake evenly.

Jack is really good about supporting his customers.  You should ask him when you pick up your pump.

right....but i believe the process is the same....just ignore the set back part.

...and all the blue printing.  he spent a lot of time making sure the bottom was as true as he could get it.  aside from that....all info i have found lines up with his thread.
