I'll check it out. Flim Flam, among other things, is the keeper of our coveted local Dynojet dyno...

Thanks! I'm very happy with the way they turned out. The one fitting going into the regulator is the standard colored A/N fitting instead of a black -8an straight... but it's only because I ran out of fittings and had a ton of coloreds laying around the shop from other builds.

And clean?! That was before I was even done, that's the dirtiest thing I've ever seen. You can see the layers of dust and dirt Thanks though, it'll look good after a few hours of cleaning.

30k miles, that's nothing. Those cars run strong forever, I envy you LS1 folks. Us Ford guys can't keep up even with 3 extra cams and a blower.

I'll have to check out the dynojet someday. If you have a dyno day let me know, I'll stop up on a Saturday if I'm free.

Thanks, I'm typically out in Glen Allen Wednesday nights though.

Cobra looks good, but runs slow.
