    I pulled off the intake and did a little bit of work to the intake. I have been slowly but surely painting the entire engine black and now I am done. The bottom end is black from when I built it, but I kept the top end all aluminum like stock, except for the chrome inlet pipe and mass air pipe. I wanted a change and I added some accents on the valve covers and intake manifold. I have new black hose for the pipes ordered and some new black clamps so they will be changed out as well soon. Let me know what you think.

    Cause I like power ;)

    last run 11.84@119. Been almost 4 years since it has been to the track though. I just don't really get off on it like I used to. I am planning on doing some work on it over the next year or 2 and suspect low 11s when I am done. I have just got too much going on right now.
