Under the hood dress up stuff A week ago, under the hood this looked stock. A few MODs added this week... MTI clear lid, strut tower brace. Waiting on a "Formula" decal to go in the center of the brace and I have FRCs on the way in a few weeks. I also have plans to wrap hoses and wires in red.
What ya think so far? (work in progress)

"Looks good, what kinda FRC you putting on. Real nice, you have a pretty rare car, keep it up."
I have FRCs coming in from afterthoughts. Black with red lettering.. 1st line "Formula" second line .. Firebird logo... and 3rd line 5.7 Litre with pinstripes

It was interesting to me because after I installed the MTI lid.. the car choked while pulling it forward into the garage.. I had to keep gas on it to keep it from stalling.. next time I started it 10 minutes later and gave it some gas in neutral.. it ran/idled fine and has run fine/better ever since. So the MAF had to learn the new airflow and compensate with fuel. I don't know what kind of Dyno numbers I will run until I fix a tranny mount that is stripped. (sometime the next week) but I am looking forward to it.
cant wait to get pix of my car.. i would love some nice FRC's but id rather have some heads

Check out this link: http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZdhwilliams I bought a set from the same guy that is selling these. Total install time was only about five minutes or so, and it does make a little bit of a difference. They add a little contrast to the engine bay and look good doing it.
