This requires a see-through hood ala Ferrari or Zr1,
...Hey Jason do you think I can have that in a black Z06 ?

The engine has been rebuilt with the following components:
CF Valve covers by Katech
C5R timing chain by Katech
A&A YSI Supercharget Kit
Oliver Billet Connecting Rods
Areas Custom 9.7:1 Pistons
RR Stalker Cam
Lingerfelter Girdle
Callies Dragon Slayer Crank
Ferrea SS Exhaust Valves
ARP Head Studs
Lingerfelter Oil Tank
RPS Billet Twin Disk Carbon Clutch
Modified ECS Fuel System With Aeromotive Fuel Rails
MSD Coils
Built and tuned by Wong's Performance Engineering

In it's current state of a very mild tune, it measured a little over 700 whp on a Mustang dyno. I'll be adding water/methanol injection shortly and be getting a little more aggresive with the tune. As you can imagine, traction is limited in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, but it sure is fun to drive.

Wow, how sweet is that!? Don't tell me... Your car is VR!!?? Mine is, and that stuff would look (and run) fantastic under my hood. I'll repeat someone else's question, How much??

How much for the CF valve covers or how much for the engine build? The valve cover price if on Katech's web page. Less 10% for the sale. The engine build, I would have to get out all the receipts and add them up, but off hand, well above $20K. Of course, that doesn't include the HRE wheels, the Pfadt suspension, DSV interior leather or the Caravaggio Daytona seats that are currently being built.

Now that is the pretty much the picture of perfection for the engine bay category. Sure beats those plastic Band-Aids that GM uses as covers I would say. to Katech and to the owner of this car.
