    I finnally put some effort into detailing the engine bay. The last thing I want to do is buy Taylor super red sparkplug wires and the wife is buying me new red silicone couplers from Hose Techniques to replace all of the blue ones. I should have taken the time to do this whlie I was replacing the head gaskets and putting in the new cam but I wanted to get the car up and running. Let me know what you guys think of the Ing. box mounted on the A/C delete. I think it makes good use of open space. I would also like to hide all the wiring, but my buddy did it in his triple black vert and it took forever to do. It looks great but, Im not that patient.

    Not to be a spoiler but sticking the box on the A/C delete might not be a good idea. It's gonna suck up a lot of vibration from the engine which you'd like to avoid and it's right in the path of the hot air you're pulling off the radiator. Electronics two worst nightmares are.....heat and vibration

    I would have to agree with RaceDvr50 on this. You really want to try and reduce the chances for compnent failure as much as you can.

    OR try and get some real good rubber mounts but I agree also... I'd find another new home for the box :(

    I was thinking about that myself. It used to be mounted on the fire wall above the intake, but it used to get really hot there. Never had and problems to speak of. In it new spot it stays alot cooler but the vibratin issue is a good point. Ill keep looking for a new spot. Any pics of a good spot that fits the bill.

    You could get a Powerpipe (worth getting in its own right!) and then put the ignition box where the air filter currently is.

    I made this power pipe for it and picked up 1 psi when I had the 6lb. pulley on. So Im not sure a power pipe would be a good investment. It is made out of 4" exhaust pipe and has a 90mm MAF. Some time soon Im going to make 1 for my friends S-trim.

    The air filter would still grab cooler air if it was coming from the fenderwell, which would be more power. That's the whole point behind it aside from a larger flow of air.

    edit: Nice piece, though!!
