The caps as well as most of the chrome goodies came from Creative Engine Covers

Once again Gary, great job!

Did you get a chance to get the car dynoed? Also, whose kit is that? It looks like ATI Procharger Stage II but cant focus on it for more than a few seconds because of so much bling

BTW, Grond's cam and a supercharger combo (without forged bottom) can be deadly if you drive like how Stephen drives
