I see you have a 2002....where did you get the 98 pump? Is you pulley chrome or polished? It looks great.

I bought a used pump with low miles and had the pulley chromed along with the thermostat housing.

So how exactly did you paint your engine bay? Did you have to drop the motor, or was there just alot of masking tape involved?

I see that you have a fuel pressure sender. Do you have a guage or do you just use it for logging and tuning? Where did you get the adapter.
Good idea about the line, and good eye... I do have a Fuel Pressure gauge. I have a Nitrous gauge as well

Does anyone know where to get a new one??? And if so I asume it will bolt on a 2002 right?

Stock... Should have cleaned/painted it when I did the cam but didn't.

Lots of taping off Took me from about 9:00am to around 5:00pm start to finish (already having done the passenger side wire mod but not the driver side).

Took everything off the car that I could (intake tract, headlights and all the brackets for them and the bumper, washer fluid resevoir, etc...)

Again it looks great! Just curious though why not paint the intake manifold? Dont feel it would go with your theme?

It is painted. I painted it satin black (when I had it off the car). I wanted the "stock but better" look that if you were looking wouldn't notice but side by side you can see mine is darker in color (unless the stock one is coated in armor all, lol).

The lid, radiator cover etc... are all painted as well

Mark,

I am highly interested in how you routed your 5177 kit. I've got the same one... but where/how did you mount your solenoids? Very interested

I mounted them between the radiator and condenser. They are hanging down there by a bracket I made out of a flat aluminum bar bent into an L. I used a couple of self tapping screws to hold it to the radiator support then it bends down and the solenoid brackets bolt to it...
