Thanks, Andy!

i'm excited to see the dyno plots. I might be driving through you neck of the woods the weekend of the 3rd, maybe i can swing by and check this thing out.

That would be fine! :D

If you do, please bring the heim for the rear Koni shock - I keep forgetting to get that from you...

oh... me likey...2 things...

1. if it is plastics will it warp/melt from your headers/ turbo...no?

2. when it rains ? you making a cover for it or something?

if that gets hot enough to melt the plastic there wouldn't be any paint left on his hood.

Now the biggest trick will be to do nice work on the bottom .

Vent will be mounted right where main hood skin support is .

Vent is actually just behind inner support skin B)

1. vent is designed to vent engine bay heat.

2. when it rains, water will run over back of motor & onto the ground, not a problem.
