Default Accel DFI mated to a Hilborn Intake

I finally got around to loading some pix of my car onto the net, so now I can share them. I'm going to post some other non-tech pix in the general area and will put the engine specs in there.

Here are some shots of my LT-1 with its Hilborn 8-stack intake, fuel system, and custom vacuum plenum (doghouse).

The car is absolutely insane, making 1st and 2nd virtually useless.

That is one awesome looking engine! What do you do about filtering? I'd be nervous about having open stacks like that.

I always think the same thing when I see those stacks. Is that the dual sync distributor? Awsome setup. Ever dyno tuned it?

That looks awesome. Do you have more pics of the sump in the tank? Is that a stock tank with the sump welded on? Also, it looks like an electric water pump. How do you like that, and did you upgrade the alternator for that?

That sump must be huge! Look...it's 43-1/2 inches just between the two fuel lines...
