Default Which hotchkis STB?

Should I get the red or the polished. I plan to order a polished bolt kit this week and put on some red vette frc's soon. The maf will soon be gone also and there will be a 4" black hose from hitempsilicone from the lid to tb. I was suppose to be getting a powder coated tb also but havnt heard from the seller.
Here is the engine now.

Get the polished one, I wish I had instead of the red. Polished goes with everything and if you're already getting the bolt kit, you'll be looking good. Get some polished covers from the new sponsor on here and you'll be well on your way to bling. FYI, I'd skip the fuel rail covers too and just save for a set of polished valve covers and a coil relocation kit. Much better.

Where do the coils go on the relocation kit? Thanks 4 the reply.

Thunder Racing and a few other sponsors sell a coil relocation kit that puts them up under the cowl so the valve covers are able to show off and not be all covered up. Really cleans up the engine bay...

I have the polished one. Check to see if there is a GP going on. I got mine on a GP and saved a little. Also have been thinking about the coil relocation kit.

i removed my polished one since my gmpp intake manifold does not leave room for it. you will need new bolts to mount the bar to the mounting plates as i lost those. but i have everything else. let me know if you are interested

just took this with my cellphone camera
