Can I get a test drive [Wink]

BTW, did you end up doing any front end suspension, ie: k-member, a-arms, etc? Whats the current setup front and rear?

Also, you're going to want to shield that air filter from the engine heat if you plan to track this thing.

I would. That Cobra was nice when I seen it. Did you rattle can the engine bay or paint it with a gun? I'm about to tear apart my fox and I wanna paint the engine bay.

Rattle can VHT satin black. As long as you wipe the nozzle frequently you will get a even pattern. Aluminum foil is great for wrapping stuff up that you don't want paint on.

Thanks Nick, yeah I might need a little help with tweecer. Its a lot of info to take in at once. Can't wait to hear this thing idle. It sounds pretty good.
