I guess the quick low down is it's a top mount twin turbo setup. The exhaust comes up, goes through the turbos, which sucks in and compresses the air, goes through the intercooler, and into the intake.....then you go really, really, really fast.

I hear ya man, but it is still fun to work on.

Then I'd shut the hood and walk away.

Holy Toledo! You even had to shield the brake reservoir! Man, that puppy must get hot. How about the cab; did you have to install some type of shielding for heat issues inside the cab? Man, if I had that car and somebody wanted to race me, I'd just raise the hood and say, "Everything was the color of plain aluminum when I built this engine. All of the colors that you see are paint jobs that I sucked off the challenger's cars as I left the line."
Then I'd shut the hood and walk away.

Yeah, it gets pretty hot under the hood, but the stinger works well for that. The cabin does not get hot.
Me first!
