I prefer that NACA job over the Stinger hood, but that's just me.

You are so close you can smell it! Or is that the smoldering header wrap?

One day down the road i'll buy a real hood,...maybe some sort of extractor hood,..and as long as my intake is where it is, i'll use NACA ducts on that too. Just maybe out of carbon or something.

lol,..it's the header wrap!!!

It's only gonna be like that for a short time. Just had to do something to get it running. Great news is, completely unrelated, my steering rack, is leaking fluid out of the passenger boot.

Sweet. Love to spend money on factory parts.

Thanks man. Drove it today(this weekend too)...actually a minute ago. Wow,..my nexus gages are waiting for a new module, so I ahven't been able to monitor boost. Today, I just hooked up a autometer phantom gage(mechanical) and went for a ride. I had no intension of going WOT. I went up the road, and what I though was boost before, is more like zero vaccum. lol, I forget the car was fast on motor alone. Then, I made a U turn,.....eased outta first, slowly engaged 2nd....just for the hell of it, went 80-90% wot,...holy ****,..5 psi in an instant,...tires blew off,....I let out as soon as I saw the needle move.

It's gonna be a wild one when she's done,...I believe.

Thanks again man,..I apreciate it

That's awesome to hear!

I've gone the route most do just like you. Bolt-ons maybe spray. Cam and head/spray or vice versa. Etc... then you everntually want the power there all the time.

I do want the Nitrous power there all the time. I'd love to go Turbo, J you are a bad influence after following your build.

lol. I might actually be the devil.

On another note,..just left the hooters vette show. lol...got maybe TWO looks under the hood. Guess my chrome wasn't blingin. However, some dude brought his girl over(big boobies)..... she was like...ahhhhhh.....I love to go fast...I just wanna get into a sports car and GO!....I was like **** dammit...hootie hoo! I wanted to tell her lets go but,...her man was already looking like he was wanting to tell her to shut up. It was a had to be there type of moment. Anyways, some hot girls(non employees) locked there keys in there car. So,..buzzed, I approached as three dudes where trying to break in for her. SHe asked if I could help(batman uniform)(mechanic work clothes)...I said i'll be right back. Went to the dealership(100yards)...grabbed the BIG EASY(pink stick) and my wedge...I was inside her car(wish it ws her pants) in like 43 seconds or some ****. And thats only cause the dude with the hanger kept trying to take the big easy outta my hand and do it himself. No madafuka!

Anyways,..i'm buzzed, and horny. Womans on her way over, and I have had sex in a couple of days, and I have been surrounded by women for the past two hours. Oh, and I installed a TnT wet kit on a C6 today and got to test it. Woo hoo. fun ****.

Wish my girl luck,..she'll need it.

Glad you got it.

So you finally let yourself get out of the shop for a minute and go to Hooters? Probably a good thing you know, to keep what little sanity you have left!

It's been a few days since your last post, anything new?

What's your to do list looking like?
