^^^^ Technically that's a cool-air box. What happens is once the hood is shut, it creats a "box" by adding the top layer (hood = top layer). However, keeping in mind this engine and intake were not designed for this particular car, you are right. He would probably benifit more if that shield was not blocking the Z's natural opening, which seems to be aligned with his bumper.
However, considering all the extra Hp that engine is making, I doubt he'll care much. LoL
I have a question for the OP / shop / fabricator. When you guys installed the T56, did you see any possibilities of matting it with the stock VQ? I know there's a T56 that uses hydro v. linkage. Assuming the dimensions were similar in size, what are the possibilities of using the stock clutch/flywheel with the T56 and being able to use either fork?
Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated.

P.S.
In case I forgot to mention, congrats on the swap!!!

By the way, if my question seems to be taking the thread off topic, please feel free to PM me. I'm hoping you could share some info regarding the T56.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Are you going to stick with the LS2, or complete the LSX ?
Those wheels look great, as for the tires, what is the treadwear rating on them? How much have they been actually driven on ?

Thanks alberto....i am dying to beat her like a rented mule as soon as the magazines are done shooting pics (those that know me know I'd rather drive and beat up my car than go to shows)
I have had vredestiens on previous cars and have loved them. THey are grippy as hell yet still maintain their grip in the rain. I compare their duality between conditions to rival/if not better the BGF KDW2( my second fav tire of all time for daily driving). These tires are extremely popular with the european and exotic crowd and have a 280 AA A UTQG rating. Some corvette owners rave about these and have even run lime rock with them.

Car looks great, saw it at SEMA. When the car is complete what Nissan functions will be lost? I see where Hinson is working on the AC. I'm curious if cruise control, gauges and especially the one that has mileage, TPS, etc will still work.
