How much would you charge to make a set of those manifolds for someone?

Finally got a semi decent pass. Gates aren't controlling boost so I'm ramping up from 7-11psi. Car keeps breaking loose as it ramps up. Time for slicks.

Been doing small revisions to this build for a while. Installed a walbro 450, 97-98 fuel rail. Custom built a return line. Did the hotwire setup from racetronix.
Switched to ID1000's and E85

Now I'm redoing my intercooler to TB pipe and I'm gonna redo my shroud.
Here's a few pics.

Forgot to mention, switched to the ctsv AC compressor and made some custom lines. Also switched to a synapse synchronic bov. All the little improvements has significantly improved the driveability of the car.

Where'd you get the CTS-V stuff, and how much did it cost, if you don't mind me asking? Interested in doing the same for my twin build, so any info/pics would be great. Thanks.

Nice AC mod. Don't think it would do a ton for me(top mount) but I like the ingenuity. Very cool.
