Finally nearing completion, few bugs to be worked out, and a couple pieces of trim to be installed, but after a years worth of work, it's almost done.

Hope to take better pics in the next few days here. Baseline Dyno numbers on 93 octane netted over 640RWHP.
Big thanks to my crew here at Speed Inc. and everyone else involved.
