This is what I did.

What do you think?

I'd take it off, looks much better without it

 

Leave off the cover, and polish or powder coat the front timing cover and it'll look much better.

 

True!

 

Without, looks weird with it on.

 

it's like wearing pants with only one pant leg being long.

either you should run the full or most of the engine cover, or you shouldn't run it at all

 

any performance part that doesnt give you gains and is basically there for bling = rice. engine cover doesnt make it any less rice. GG

 

yeah so that basically means

any wheels that are larger than 18's = rice
any titanium exhaust that has colored exhaust tips = rice
any body kit part that doesn't add downforce = rice
any BBK that isn't using race pads = rice
any aftermarket seat that isn't lighter weight = rice

 

thanx.....

 

Ha, no those things make you a BALLA

 

haha poor sentry, he hates it when people make fun of his SSV.

wheels are not performance parts
body parts arent performance parts
titanium tip exhaust that give you gains = not rice
ssv which gives you no gains and probably makes you lose power = rice
seats arent performance parts
bbk not using race pads... hrmm on the fence on that one.

sentry, i love your car and you are one of the reasons a vortech is going on my car next week but ssv = no no.

 

dont turn this into yet another "ssv sucks:no it doesnt" thread

 

Sell the SSV and get a Crawford or APS tallboy... Powdercoat it and leave the cover in a box in the garage. Just my

 

your right, my bad. i do like it better with the hacked enginer cover. too much junk exposed without it.

 

Thats BS, he is FI, he's going to get gains with the SSV. If you don't believe me PM Jason, member (bldrz). He is one of the fastest 350Z's on the site and running 10's at that he did before and after dynos with this plenum and gain over the crawford one.

 

He'd run 9's with a stock plenum Sorry I had to...

I vote to show off the SSV, lose the engine cover!

 

gaahh... looks aweful.. get some carbon fiber cover or something.

 

gahh.. didn't know you had to cut the cover.. guess leave it off

 

SSV that you later run a 150 shot of direct port nitrous with on a built block = awesome

for me, if people are so concerned about the SSV losing power with FI, just up the boost. What's the big deal

Even I still can up the boost and switch from the 32 to 34 tooth cog pulley on the vortech, but I'm happy where I'm at for now

 

Amen. Edit: OP, take it off. One thing I like alot about the SSV manifold is that it frees up alot of real estate. Don't clutter it up with a usless piece of plastic.
