Damn Bill, how can you live with yourself driving that pile? 
It looks amazing brotha!! Can you do me a favor, can you take a closer more straight on pic of that power steering pulley? I've seen them just sitting on a towel or whatever the stock photos are from the manufacture, just want to see a better shot of it on the car, thanks and you really need to clean that engine bay, it's filthy!

I thought about polishing my heads but I'll do that either the next time I pull them or when I build myself a new motor with new heads.

BILLIUMMS, Def looks awesome, no doubt. Two suggestions im gona throw out, if you care at all is; put a clear coat on the wheel wells to match the awesome shine of the intake and cover up the yellow battery sticker.

I thought before that if I ever pulled the engine out that I would paint and clear coat the entire engine bay, I can only imagine what that would cost!
As for the battery, I thought the same thing, at car shows, I put my dyno chart in a frame over it. I am in need of a new battery though, maybe the new battery I buy won't have a big ugly sticker. lol

That looks absolutely phenomenal. The overall end result seems to show alot of planning and forethought. Mucho props from me.
Polishing the heads would be ideal since it would round things out and leave out the notion that something in the engine bay was left "untouched." The next best thing would be polished head plates. Some underhood mirrors would be cool too. Only other thing I would focus on besides that is removing as much clutter as possible. SJM ABS delete kit? Battery relocation?
