Default New mods installed.

Fast intake and TB, Speed Inc. fuel rails, thunder racing coil pack relocation kit, wire mod, QTP headers and catted Y pipe, MBA header plate.
Y pipe is pretty low, I'm going to have some adjusting to do.
Nasty performance billet valve covers will be here by Friday!

looks really good. that looks a little like what mine will very soon. just put on the QTP headers, the TR coil relocation should come in monday, and my FAST will be on shortly, but in silver. i thought that the red intake would be too much, but it actually looks great on there.

looks good

just my opinion: Id get a fuel pressure gauge to go on the left side of the rail I think that makes it look a lot better, and try to find something to do about that evap fuel line, I hate how ugly it looks, maybe cover it somehow or relocate it

The wire mod really cleans things up. I'd say all you need now is some FRC's and the engine bay is complete (looks wise). But since you're getting the billet VC's I wouldnt worry about it.

I have just about all the same mods in line to go on my SS...very nice work, I hope mine looks that nice when I'm done!

Ditto on the EVAP suggestion...I relocated my solenoid down near the bottom of the fuse boxes...I just used rubber fuel line and part of the factory hose to make the hookup. The only other thing you have to do is extend the wiring harness...

Two things I would recommend to clean the look up even more; you can relocate the EVAP down by the fuse boxes to get that off the intake, and if you get a ls6 valley cover, that will get rid of the pvc hose that runs around the sides and back. Just a couple thoughts

The engine comp. looks great though. Time to show if off.
