DAMN thats friggen SWEET!!!!!!! Did you paint the bay? or clean it up nice - it looks VERY nice, did you open it up yet, or are you gonna wait for the break in period, than change your oil - i was told to do it like that by some, and by others, to break it in the way your gonna drive it lol - don't know what to do - what do you mean by what a difference?? Does is pull way better or just run alot smoother?

Thanks guys, I painted only part of the engine bay, wish I would have done it all.

Plan on driving it conservative, then change fluids and give it hell!

The car revs so much quicker, almost as nice as my old '01 Cobra and just sounds awesome!

Paul.. looks like your project is coming along nicely!

Good luck to you!
