Here is a thread about that car back in 2011 and the owner posted many times in it and shared lots of pictures.

That build was way, way north of $100K.

The biggest letdown of this build was that none of the parts like the balancer or other stuff we could benefit from in the ls4 community, its a awesome carthough

Get rid of the stupid hood though. I guess the only thing that might be ok on the hood is the early 90's turbo Grand Prix inspired louvers but nothing more.

Oh yes there is...I have one of the balancers that he had made. BHJ made them for him. I've had it for about two years now, but have yet to install it on my car. Not sure if BHJ would make another though.

When I called them last year they said they didn't have any and would be a one customer sale type thing. Or else I'd have bought one

Supposedly everything on the hood is 100% functional. He was getting way too hot with a regular hood.
