Seeing that a hood seal will give you 5 HP I figure that the chrome fuel rail has to be good for 50HP...

Gorgeous! That's got to be worth at least 60 HP! How about some more views of how you've "ruined" your corvette?

Very cool! A great addition to an already great car!

Where did you get it? Inquiring "modders" want to know...

SUPER COOL! Easiest 50hp add on yet! I was going to wal-mart later and buy some horsepower adder in a can. I think it's less than $10 a can. I saw some spray air straightener that may have a lot of potential too, but it's only for turbos.

All kidding aside Mr. Bill....looking good!

Very nice added bling! I am waiting to get my alternator and bracket back this week from chrome shop!

Are you going to chrome yours too Bill? Its only money.

Why do you have a dead Dog on your dashboard?

The underhood bling looks really good, but...1986 called and wants its dash mat back.

Very nice mods Mr. Bill, definitely 50 plus HP
With the interior you would have to add another 30 or 40 HP

Sometimes it's the small details that really stand out.

Give him a break. He lives in a pretty hot area. However, I think he would gain another 10HP if he removed it.



Having fun with ya Bill!
