If the pictures were just a little smaller, I could probably offer some feedback!

Congrats on getting it done though

Re: The beast is finally back on the road with LS Power this time!!

Plan on building a ram air cai that will utilize the two holes in the front facia. Had to have a filter for now so just picked up one for $25 at autozone. It will be similar to the tune port setup. Paint my friend will be the last thing on the list. Some of us are college students who can't just drop a ton of money into a car all at once. If I had money like that It would have a true LSX in it. That will be down the road when I graduate and start making big engineering money. All in due time. I will be starting on the inside with making it look better. New carpet headliner redo seats. Inside will be black and charcoal grey. Paint will be a custom one off. I'm not set on wheels yet, thinkin bout the new billet specialties.

Just for grins, I clicked on a couple of pics at random - they opened up fine for me, I'm running at 1152x864, & they almost filled the window...
