That motor looks to pretty to hide under a hood! Very impressive.

By the way, did you notice that the cam sprocket is off by two teeth?

Very nice nitrous set up looks all business, can't wait to see it in the car you just know the numbers will be good. Can you still run fuel rail cover with that set up? What do you have to do to the rearend to live with all that power?

* * * Update * * *
Last night I spent about 2 hours porting out the fast. We still have to work on the lid but its almost 90% done. As far as putting down 500rwhp + 400 shot, we're going to run a progressive controller that allows us to limit 1st gear and 2nd gear to smaller shots and really start hitting the motor hard in 3rd and 4th where breakage isn't as much of a problem. I can leave on the motor and still pull low 1.4 60's. I'll pics of the fast either tonight or tomorrow.
