Rich, thanks actually the real eye catcher is the jet hot coated headers they really standout when looking into the engine compartment. On the cam and headwork, it was supposed to have been done on the 19th but the shops chief mechanic broke his hand so everything has been postponed. The anxiety is prolonged.. . Also this has got to be the best thread posted...good job.

Too bad on the delay. Look forward to some dyno numbers when the cam goes in. If you make that beast go any faster you are going to run out of island at WOT.

There isn't a cure for mod fever...so no re-hab either.

CWS C6, there are several forum vendors who supply custom engine caps. I don't believe any of them use Velcro to attach chrome covers and have not heard anyone complain about them coming off. Here are a few vendors who support the forum.

Well, I got some great ideas from all of your awesome engine bays so I'm starting some mods myself. Not much, but a start.

Couldn't afford both FRCs. Actually, I thought it woud be a good comparision to stock vs. CRM FRCs.



Here's with both changed out.



Lot's more planned, I can't stop now.
