Great pics.... your car is perfection simplified. Just the right amount of everything.

Matter of fact Ive had a picture of your car at the track as my desktop for quite some time now.

I'm not really the washing/waxing type, but it was starting to look pretty bad - black is tough

Appreciate it, it is really a very simple and reliable combination - not to mention a lot of fun to drive around and race

You did it now! Every time my car is running good and I decide it deserves a little detailing, once its cleaned up it breaks. You just jinxed it! Hell, every time I even wash a work truck its days are numbered. I'm scared to even hose my car off when I get it back!

Anyway, it is a bad *** car man. I think one of your goals should be to put it on the bumper so I have a new desktop!

Heh, one day I'll tig weld that stick to the bracket - the hose clamp is pretty cheesy but it works

The bracket that mounts to the head doesnt come with it, the black bracket that holds it on my car comes with the AMW cans standard, then that bracket bolts to the optional head bracket

Its an aftermarket hood, I'm not sure who makes it. It had a huge air filter attached to the stock radiator support and heat extractors on the rear. Think its a suncoast or something, was on the car when I bought it. I honestly prefer a flat hood but if I decide to put a victor intake/elbow on it this one has a lot of room under it so it would be better..

Thats because it isnt boost referenced, the dual pupms cant do any more then 65psi or so at WOT anyhow so I dont bother. When I put the bigger injectors in I'll boost reference it and put the base pressure at 43 or so. I ran it with the boost reference hooked up for a while (you can see the -4 fitting on the TB and regulator) and it was pretty inconsistant so i just took it off..
