    Hahaha WOW. I mean it looks great and all, but I'd think anything white in an engine compartment is like drinking coffee over a white tablecloth... Even if you are careful, things are bound to get dirty.

    Is your car white? I'd definitely like to see pictures after the install.

    Yep, it's white. It matches the car. It cost $95 and took the shop a week.

    I'm prob going to send out the lower to tmoss to match it to the twisted wedge heads. Otherwise, I'll have the lower ported and welded. Either way, it goes in when the lower is done. It's a tubular gt40. Old school intake, but still the king under 5500 rpms. Which is where my usually on the street car usually lives.
    Here's a link with some intake tests. mmff intake shootout

    Looks good. Make sure there is nothing inside the intake before you put it on.

    I had a friend lose an engine because an intake he powdercoated still had little beads rolling around inside. Seems the powdercoater didn't do a good job sealing it off.

    Blow it out well

    i thought about doing a white upper, but I could not imagine trying to keep it clean.
