looks good! did those rear band clamps clear your hood though? i would check and make sure they don't try to dig into it. might be better to run them so bolt goes flat across the top level with hood.

Fixed... bolts trimmed & then rubber stops added to the ends to be safe

Alright guys I know that it has been a minute since I updated this build & that is partly because Steve & I have had our differences... with that said his work is done at this point.
Now that I have the car back I wanted to let everyone know what I think about what has been done so far.
82mm T/B - I needed a new T/B so I had him install his 82mm & I really do like how he has adapted his version to the inlet without using an adapter plate, it just looks more stock this way IMO
CAI - Everyone has now seen the CAI that he has come up with & I can say for sure that it looks way better in person! I don't know how much better performance it is going to give me but the car looks & sounds a lot more BEASTLY than it did before
I went with the polished version & the guy that he uses to do this does a GREAT job!
BWK - Had him install a BWK (I think we all know where this came from) & NO MORE chirp! This is a must for all I don't care who you buy it from... get it if you don't have it.
Surge Tanks & Valve Covers - The guy that he used to do these did a stellar job & I love the pop of the red when you open the hood!
H/E - Time will tell on this guy... it looks solid & every time I have driven the car it has stayed at about 80 & it used to push up much further than that before so it is doing it's job.
I did get his looped fuel rail & a set of Bosch 550cc injectors & I don't really have much to say here... honestly after reading a bunch of post & talking to a couple of different tuners & shops now I may actually put my OEM rail back in the car? I am not saying that there is anything wrong with the one that Steve did up for me (if I do decide to take it out it will be for sale) I am just convinced now after learning better how our fuel system works that it isn't needed. With that said it looks solid enough that I might just leave it as is.
I am glad I have my car back BUT I still have work that needs done so we will call this Phase I... Phase II post coming soon
