Not a hint of overspray anywhere either. Pretty incredible really. Did you lay plastic on the ground?

Very Very nice, Sean. One of the few colors I like other than white.

Nice, looking good. Jealous of the VC. I dont think my filler is that close to the hood....? Also, your engine looks lower compared to the core support but its prob just the visual of the shorter VC.

Was browsing thru and thought Id ask if you ever got any numbers for what your 20v was putting down. Car looks awesome. Wish I had one

EDIT: found your dyno results earlier in the thread. It sounds snappy as hell with E85

Interesting. Why not a tapered, conical, plenum?

What do you mean Ed?

We played aorund with the conical taper on the dual plenum, but it doesn't lend itself to a front mount radiator or vac brake setup. A side entry is a better shot, and will be a smoother transition into the main plenum while giving all cylinders a better shot at smooth air.

You seem to be getting pretty good at this stuff Hank. What magazine is it going to be featured in when you are done? Hope you are ready for an influx of members to this site, not to mention business. I gotta get more practice in on my tig, thats a given. You make it look too easy.

Oh, how come you arent integrating an Air to Water in that manifold? Or maybe just plumb an evaporator core in there and plug it right into the A/C......Refrigerated charge air, who'd a thunk it?

Damn, Sean. You're getting your money's worth for sure.
