That's real nice! I always appreciate the effort someone goes through in making their engine look great!

Ambitious Thanks I try to keep it clean. And no driving in the rain.

Big Car Show Tomorrow. And on Sunday too.

Where are they going to be if you don't mind me asking?
I'll be around the NyC this weekend so, I might be able to drop by and see the automotive beauties.

Looks great! Wish l could S/C my car here, but don't know how I'd do it here in CA with all the emissions control BS.

250 amps? Does anyone know what the OEM alternator puts out by comparison?

OEM is 130 amp

Thanks. I have the underbody lighting kit and some other electrical extras, but not like you. In any case Marty said he could tweak his tune to get some extra juice out of the OEM unit to help with those extras. The OEM alternator never looked that good though.

I was at the Eisenhower park show on Sunday on Long Island. Won a best engine award.

Your battery tray is most definitely FUBAR.

Nice setup! Just noticed: I have that same carbon fiber Metco intake tube, and PHP CAI box. What is that bridge you used between the tube and the MAF?

I couldn't get just the standard rubber bell supplied by Metco to work, too short. I remember posting here about it, and a couple of DR fans gave me a hard time because they said I was "putting down" DR. I was just trying to get it to fit, and they way he sold the kit it didn't.

I thought about it and just bought a second rubber bell from Aaron at Metco for $30 to take up the space. They kind of articulate together and make a tight seal. Works great, but I like the look of yours better (although Metco suggests not putting a clamp on the small end of the carbon fiber tube.)

Here's a pic of mine:

I had a issue with the metco one popping off and not seating correctly on the MAF because it was just too short. I ended up ordering a rubber coupler from eBay in the correct diameter and a inch longer then the metco one, that solved my issue and sits correctly.
I’ve also used a clamp on the metco intake but always took care not to over tighten and crack it.

Looks like we both came up with a solution that works. In order for mine to be adjusted correctly I had to lube the inside of one and the outside of the other, then angle one inside the other at an offset towards the throttle body. It's actually a tight seal on the tube.

BTW, don't crack that tube. Real carbon fiber, and they didn't make that many of them. When I spoke to him a few weeks ago, Rick there commented that they are something of a rare beast now.

It’s very rare. In fact I believe maybe 20 of us are out there with this intake tube. I know of 4 off hand that I’ve seen in person, you’re the 5th that I know of. Same goes with my PHP airbox. I bought it back in 2005 and haven’t seen many.
