My SOS A-Pillar will be here tomorrow... only a dual, though!

I can't stand looking at A/F changing right in front of my face all the time. I had it on the '89 and had to get rid of it. That's why I was saying if I have to re-check it every once in awhile, I can use the Predator.

So dim it.

I think my narrowband will look cool there. My gauge order (from top to bottom) will be A/F, Boost, Fuel Pressure.

I was seriously looking at Jed's MSD coils last weekend.. until he told me the price.
Who knows, maybe I will.

You just spent 5k what's another 300 to finish off the engine bay.

The difference is $5k versus $5.4k.

But you know me, I'll probably end up with them sooner or later.

Here are the pics of the lower grill inserts installed. My main concern was how the intercooler looked crooked. It is wider on the passenger side and the fins appear to be crooked. They are slightly slanted, but it looks worse than it actually is. The inserts REALLY take away from the open look and give your eyes too much to look at to realize anything is crooked!

P.S. My shaker is still just laying in there until the final dyno run... so that IS crooked. The throttle body bolts aren't installed - but that sucker ain't goin' anywhere!

Thanks! You are either nicer or not as honest as Bill!

Oh, I can, too! But it's much harder for the everyday person to notice.

Plus, you could only really notice if you were WAAAAY far away from the car walking toward the front end... then you kinda had to get down on one knee to really look at it. It's one of those things that bothered me and now I know it's as hidden as possible!

Didn't really see the crookedness you speak of but eitherway it looks alot better with the grille inserts. BTW-I think this is the first time in months you post a pic of your car.

Thanks! Yep... just about 3 months! Sound about right, Bill??

You can see the difference in what you can see of the fins... now you can't see that as easily any more:

3 months is about right. Last pics was of the completed turbo piping.

At first glance, I thought you said 'ricer'.
