I like that gun metal. Don't forget to trim between the fan and heater core if you didn't know already.

Hey have gregrob have you run into any issues with the throttle cable with the n2o plate and TB? I have the same AS&M TB but am running a NOS N2o plate and the throttle cable is a little short maybe a 1/8 to short??? If you have any problems let me know how you work it out.

Nice work on the heater box! How much of it were you able to take out? I was under the impression that you have to remove the dash or some ****.
