Gentlemen.....we sincerely Thank you.

The wife and I spend many hours in the shop making goodies, we truly enjoy showing the car and meeting the other "F" body folks out there.

Stay tune, we are now working on a splitter for the front, not sure how it's going to look. We will post up after the install

Thanks Again

Heat soak on a blower yes, but i dont feel anything like this will cause heat soak, honest when i hear that it just sounds retarded to me, yes heat soak is a real thing but things like this kinda makes me laugh when that is said, same dumb term everyone used about the bbk intake,and i have yet to see any proof that there is a heat soak issue with that,old blue that took some serious skills,much props to you, i wouldnt even wanna know how much one of those would cost me lol

On the subject of heat soak, if your that worried about it, couldnt you just take your parts to the local plating shop and get the parts ceramic dipped to combat the "heak Soak"?

I have one of the ebay stainless ones, shoot me a pm if you are interested in it.

They aren't bad but can be a tough fit.

Old Blue, nice work.


I made one for for max performance with taller intakes and street driving then for looks. My stock lower Z28 airbox, sealed to 4inch ducts sealed to the opening on the sides of the grill (no bumper supoort, "SUX2BU" mod). sealed with alum. tims to the rad, combo with running one light 16 fan with no shroud. Cools fine and very light.

I've seen that engine bay picture a few times over the years on this site, and I gotta say, I always thought your lid was just smoothed and painted black...holy hell that reflection! That's true craftsmanship.
