    I just finished putting a man a fre on my vette, really seems to run well but I have not driven it yet. The throttle response is instant! This is going to be fun!! Pay no attention to those awful plug wires, I still have a lot of work to do under the hood. ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1458610888.932871.jpg ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1458610929.932386.jpg

    Well it was already cool. You know once you hit that cool meter with a car like that anything after is just keeping score.

    Instant throttle response, might be needing some new rear tires before long.
    Looks very cool.

    Pretty cool setup. As soon as the weather improves you can take it for a real run.

    Page 54 of the NCRS Manual says to deduct 9 points for this induction system. As a fellow Corvette owner however I will see their 9 and go all in with 20 more points to offset that deduction! Looks very cool indeed.

    Agreed, the garage is envy clean.

    Plug wires ruined it for me. Another Moriarty fail. (I wish I could fail that great)
