i think it would be wise to create a new name on ls1tech so people wont associate this post with Hi-flo.............. and mention that this post has nothing to do with hi-flo.............

What does this have to do with forced induction? Polishing = Appearance...off we go to the Appearance section.

(Looks good though)

Bill, your polisher put his kid through college on that?

Honestly I hope you didn't pay much for that job, looks kinda dull and swirly.

This is how it should look...


The painted headers have since been replaced by twin turbo manifolds.
