Rebuild time... Silence's supercharged 4.966L C43
I've started in with some new cosmetic work as I've got the car running and driving well at this point. Lots of cosmetic clean-up under the hood has begun, but no pictures yet. At this point there isn't much to do so far as chasing more performance without compromising something more than I want to.
I'll be using a lot of carbon fiber, some of it simply wrapping factory stuff.
I am also redoing my stereo with 'period correct' high end stuff. Here is the beginning of that process. This is going to be a fiberglass/carbon fiber enclosure for a 10" sub tucked way back in the passenger footwell.

Glad to hear it! I also have a lot of cosmetic stuff to remedy on both my cars. But first I want to get them both mechanically tip top. One is going to get an engine swap, while the other will remain factory/period correct restoration job.

Oh man... so far as a link to my supercharger build...
Well, it was installed about 6 years ago, motor swap 3 or 4 years later. Lots of little tweaking. Setup sounds really simple the way I have it currently. I can post some pictures of that stuff as well. I am reworking the supercharger outlet to back of motor as part of this process.
