Wow, beautiful work guys!

If I get my L98 looking even half as good as you guys have done, I'd be proud

Just testing to see if the pic will show vs the link. Please be patient.

Why will this not show up? I am trying to get a pic from the CF gallery. Here is the link that is surrounded by the [IMG]s:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/phot...cat/500/page/1

Thoughts?

Because you did not include the NAME of the pic! Go back to that page and right click on the pic. Select save pic as.... You'll see the name of the pic. That name needs to be included with your link.

Hey, what'd you do with that open EGR pipe on that passenger side hooker?? Can't imagine you left it that way to pump heat and fumes into the engine bay. Just wondering.

Thanks Dave, and to others for the kind words as well.
I decided "while I was in there'' I might as well just powder coat everything.

Actually this was shot after I had it up and running, but the EGR tube was never drilled through the header. Originally I had bought the headers and was going to use a different intake with the AIR etc. I changed directions entirely and ended up keeping the headers (only regret now with this set-up not having the 2151) I have since put a plate on it for cosmetic purposes (powder coated texture blk. of course).
I was thinking of adding a " TB N spacer plate" like yours ....

Vetster86, Awesome for sure, and holy sheet.....did you have to off the inner well in the hood? Somebody asked you about power...I am sure it's making plenty!!

Man thats right, I totally forgot about having to drill the hole inside the pipe on my 2149's. I've slept since then and probably had more than a few too many than I should've since then.

Yeah, your not kidding, Vetster86's set up is awesome too as well as several others on this thread. Makes me motivated to work on mine.

mseven, that has to be one the best looking mini-rams I have seen............just awesome
Still have the upper wheel well, just had to do some mods to make it work. (got the wheel well mod kit from Greg at Blowerworks).
It seems to have some pretty good power, but I have not opened it up yet. Will be going for a tune on the dyno next week, I will post the HP/TQ numbers then.

Thanks for the kind words
Just from that shot it looks like some "whittrling" would be neccessary.
Yeah, I 'd like to hear the numbers, I'm sure it will put down some serious power......The only thing I see would be keeping the tires from peeling off the rims
