Nice looking setup. Is this going to be a street car or a track car, or both?

That kit looks awesome. Please tell me you wont have to cover it with those ugly blankets to keep from melting the hood.

Can't wait to hear what kind of power that monster is putting out. If my motor looked that pretty, I'd drive around without a hood. A work of art.

Holy Snikies! That's going to make awesome power. Can't visualize the air filter/intake plumbing with that water pump, but I'm sure you have it figured out. Between the displacement, those ET heads and the turbos, you are going to be moving some serious air through that baby. Wow...

Yes, very nicely! An "A#1" class job for sure. I was wondering about the throttlebody. Is there a reason for the cable operated over the ETC? Just my curiosity getting the best of me.
Edit lol! I know the reason as I looked again, the operator won't fit. A space savings for sure.
