Supercharger pipes
BBK throttle body and it's bolts
Coil covers
Thumbscrews

Steve, it looks great! I especially like the coil covers and the filler caps/covers, they really set it off.

First class, all the way.....congratulations.

I award two trophies :trophy::trophy:

I always enjoy the love/hate comments the cam covers evoke. Either way, they always draw people in at car cruises and car shows.

Their only downside is trying to keep them spotless. They show every speck of debris.


Eventually, I plan to have the Cobra manifolds ceramic coated.

I wonder why. I originally got the idea from the old Cobra Jets.

The intake and TB should also look familar. :cool:

Thanks for the tropies. Hopefully, the enhancements will pay off during this season's car shows.

Those are Colex Custom caps/covers. I highly recommend them.



Thanks for the compliments, everyone.

Eventually, I plan to throw the Cobra manifolds away and buy Stainless Works Headers.



Fixed it for you.


And dont bother ceramic coating the Cobra manifolds, they will ust right through rather quickly, and I speak from experience.

If I remember right this was Zack's original Black 03. The same one he is working on right now that almost got the v-10 but has a newer motor with a new Supercharger.
