bout damn time!

Goodness, that P51 is a monster. Any ideas on the weight of that thing compared to a stock 2v intake? Are you deleting the AC compressor?

Its looking great. Keep us updated

keeping the AC. the P51 weighs around 45 lbs IIRC. it has been a while since it was shipped so i dont remember the exact weight

the P51 makes it look even better. i wish i have some nicer valve covers

Are you planning on installing it with the P-51 on? Might be a big pain...hummm.

I like it. It reminds me of the 5.0 Trickflow intake...It definitely looks alot better than the boring, cluttered, stock 2V intake. I was thinking that aftermarket Valve covers would look good, but most of them are pretty pricey.

I always hated the stock 2V valve covers....

Saleen doesn't have a stock hood, so he won't have any clearance problems. I do have the stock hood. I has to remove the insulation, and it still rubs a little. The hood closes though.

I had to remove the insulation on mine too..closes, but man does it get hot under there. I've been looking at a 2.5" cowl hood, what about you?

I would like to but the funds to do so just aren't there right now. I have shopped around and it looks like atleast $400 for the hood, and another chunk of change to have it painted. My stock 1 works for now.
