Couldn't they have at least done both polished or satin?

That is amazing, that thing should throw down some serious numbers if the engine holds up. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

SHEESH guys, its a JOKE, but its not a photoshop hack. The guy stuck both on the motor just for fun since he had them laying around. He just wanted to see if they'd both fit. They do. Obviously that motor is not setup right to use both kits, he's just having some fun.
