Very nice!  Have you had a chance to run it at the track?

These are just cheap e-bay valve covers and i cut some holes in them to install breathers. i made some bracket and mounted the driver side coils to the sub frame and the passenger side are mounted to the block down where the ac compressor would normally be. Trans is a stock tremec t-56 from an 04 GTO. This thing is a blast to drive, the turbo spools so quick. I need some good tires for it now. lol
