I'll keep you guys posted with pics as the project progresses.
So I'm guessing this cost in the area of $3000 including the air panel? That's a bit out there for me, as in the area of a complete suspension overhaul or the sickest nitrous setup you can imagine.

If you're willing to eat Ramen for a year to have a little cooler oil, more power to ya.

You know it! Hahaha...

Those Samco hoses you sold me look great. It took about 2 weeks for the Python hose locks to arrive, but I finally got everything install. Looks great.

How's the car running?
