That looks great! I had planned on painting my valve covers, and the groves in the fuel rails and plenum. I think now, I may paint a couple other things like you did too

ya I sill have the stock manifolds on and yes i KNOW they are going to kill a lot of my performance. But there only so much money and it all went into parts you can not see in the engine. i have to draw the line somewhere. and they were it. i will be changeing them ASAP.

the manifolds were painted with very high temt paint for headers
