Ahhh yes, the "Black Unicorn" has shown up on the net again!

The ram air setup is sweet, it uses the two holes on the side of the license plate mounting area and the entire area behind that is boxed in sheetmetal and goes into a funnel top into that tube you see.

Colonel, if you don't mind, where did you get the valve covers and how much were they? Thanks

Looks sweet.

Personally we extended all of the FAST wires, I think that bundle of wires over the passenger header should be moved. That bundle is the TPS, IAC and some other things.

Looks badarse Colonel!

Rumor has it that Steven's car will debut when the Camaro comes back in 2007. Well we can put another rumor to rest, some folks had bets going on who would come out first, Colonel or PSJ, we all now know the answer to that one.

Lets see, the car has been at MTI for right about 2 years now, and it still hasn't "Hit the Streets". My guess is, it will rot in that spot.

hadn't seen anything on the black wheelie-monster in a while. Question is as posted above by Tim, will it be an expensive driveway ornament or will it get beaten on like it should?! Any ideas on if and when Steve?

and to continue with that air intake (as bad *** as it looks) is there a filter able to fit anywhere near there, or is it just open right to the intake. i would hate to suck in a little rock into that engine.
