Looks great already. I managed to keep the wiring pretty well hidden on the 89 coupe I just finished getting up and running. I'm sure the nitrous system will screw that up when that goes on.

That engine is out right now. Being up graded. This is another engine I put in so I could still drive the car. Plus I wanted to test the Fitech system out. My turbo motor will go back in for spring. This one will be getting a 8-71 blower and go into my 80 Z28

looks nice and clean.

I think I'm going to swap to the Fitech and see how it does.
