dyno will be next week, i would go now but dont think i would get far cause my hood is still at the paint shop. i have to hit the freeway to get there and i think highway patrol will spot me a mile away with no hood and a cam and loud exhaust.

i thought about the 231/239, but that is a little higher then i wanted, as my car sees track time sometimes, but more for a weekend cruiser. i also matched my heads for this cam. i plan to make 460rwhp with this heads and cam with tune, also i am gonna port my FAST before the tune for a few extra horses.

so today i drove it, and decided i am gonna go with a filter in the spot where the oil cap used to be. i am getting alot of crank case pressure for removing the passenger side hoses, so i want to eliminate that. fresh air will be good for it anyway.
also my alt is making a squealing sound, it made a little squeak when i took it off, but now it is louder and is driving me nuts. i am gonna replace it. i have heard that you can replace it with the 145 amp one from a truck, so i am looking into that right now and reading some write ups on it. best part is, it will be cheaper then a new one from the junk yard. i could also possible go underdrive pulley if i get the better alt, but i am still deciding on that.

yea the filter flew off too, so i was runnin strait MAF...here is the damage that was done:
This is how i pulled in to the garage, notice the lack of a cowl and windshield wipers.
That is where the damage to the filter came from.
Here is where the Lid landed in the road, no damage, just a little scuff. it flew at least 50 feet in the air, and only got this! this lid is light as a feather but strong as a brick! love this lid!
Notice anything missing.....
That would be this thing...forgot to put this on which allowed the Lid to go up over the hood
Installed and ready for another run. car is burring pretty rich, but i cant get a tune till i get my hood back, it is not safe enough for me to drive on the freeway for just this reason, and cause cops are a bunch of ******** out here.
All buttoned up, good thing this sexy lid didn't get messed up.

well went to the paint shop today, and they had the hood all sanded down. now i couldnt find the color code WA8555 on my door that they told me it was, but i did find U 8555. my car is black, is this the color code that is needed to respray my hood with? anyways, here is a pic of it all sanded down. funny looking isnt it!
