Nice engine bay.. (Except the loose wires, for now).. The paint work looks great! Same with the shaved VCs.

Got any more pics of your coil pack relo? I put a thread in the external room if you want to chime in.

And as far as the "pro" install, ****, I coulda done a LOT better of a job than that for half the money!

Thanks. Yeah, those clowns did one fucked up job on that wiring.. Going to be fun tracking the crap down.. I have some pics of the coil pack relocation, somewhere... It's just a kit I bought from thunder racing 4-5 years ago... Brackets bolt to the cowling sheetmetal and coil packs are just on a threaded rod, with spacers(between the packs) underneath. If you look above my drivers side valve cover, towards the back, you can see my coils packs.. What is a thread in an external room? Never heard of it?

Intake is back on.. Not bolting it down yet.. Maybe tomorrow.. Want to hook up the fuel line and make sure I have no injector leaks.. All the o-rings seemed to seal good but you never know.. Wife is sick or I'd check tonight.. I want someone in the car clicking the power on and off til while I watch for leaks.. Then comes the wiring, hoping I can keep it close to this organized with the nitrous wires in place.. I got nothing but time..

Lookin' good brotha! I just painted my intake, valve covers, and coils as well. Also pewter! Firs thing I noticed were your valve covers, they look great!

For those of you asking about taking off the intake, it's not hard at all. Just take your time:

Looks clean! I like the valve covers as well, I've never seen them painted. Makes me want to paint both my intake and valve cover as well!
