It was also tuned w/ headers,but I may need another tune after my vararam is installed!

Your car looks great George. LOVE THE HOOD!! The air intake is a Magnuson modified stock unit with K&N filters. Works pretty good, but still takes air from under the hood; no one makes a bridge for this set up yet; Lingenfelter said they were going to several months ago, but still hasn't, except for their Maggie powered car. I bought one of their CAI, but had to take it off when the Maggie went on. See ya at OCGT on Sunday??

They will. 21st Century uses one of the best paint and body shops in Dallas...I've seen several hoods come back...all perfect!

My car goes in next Friday, so our cars will be roomies for a couple weeks.

Sorry, could you clarify a bit? Not sure if you are talking about the car being lowered (in which case it's lowered by cutting the stock bushings off the ride height bolts) or if you liked the heads/cam listed in my mods (in which case they are Comp 921s)!

Back to the thread, the polished Maggie looks sweet!!!!
