March Ultra Drive carbon fiber system with the Futura air cleaner and valve covers...looks awesome (don't like the red intake though), but man it's expensive. The air cleaner alone is about $430!

I have always liked that setup but after seeing the price, I knew it was not to ever land in the engine compartment of my vette. Very nice setup though. It would look really nice in a red vette.

they have the small block version of those valve covers at summit on display. The carbon fiber scythe hangs off the edge of the cover and it looks like crap....
