Default Engine back together w/ powdercoated goods

It's been back together for a lil while now, working on tuning the standalone (that is when I'm not gone for work). But here's a few pics of Jeremy's handywork. Everything came out great, thanks again bro! The bumper/grille and centercaps are at Wooding's getting painted, I'll have new pics of everything cleaned/waxed/polished when I get it all back together.













The wheels look darker in that pic than they really are, they're the same color as the rad support and intake. I still have to get couplers for the new intercooler. Also need to install the plug wire looms and reroute some cables to clean it up some more. Eventually the ugly factory harness that you see going around the valve covers will be gone, just have to take the time to cut it apart and reroute the parts I still need, but there's a whole new harness for the injectors that runs behind the fuel rails and out the back of the manifold. I'll have new pics of it all back together in a few weeks

You and me both! It went 7.45@93.88 last time at NB with the wideband pegged at 10.0. Picked up around 36cfm on the new heads and have the new cam, and shaved about 75lbs off the front end. That combined with a good tune and it should pull some nice #'s. Of course now I'm gonna have it tuned in just in time for the worst racing weather LOL
