Way to go! Do you have any good pics of your car? I know you posted some a long time ago but none of the links work anymore. I wanted to check out the cowl hood in particular. It is a glasstech one correct?

You guys would be amazed by how many people visit the site on a monthly visit... While only a few might respond, there are probably a couple hundred folks who read the thread and are blown away by what Rob has been able to achieve.

Nice numbers Rob, I hope I can see 17lbs of boost on my 8 rib stuff.
