Haven't decided what color I'm gonna do the bar yet. Black, SS, or I can leave it orange.

i talked to the guys at nippon and they said they use a waterjet to cut the gaskets so you get an exact copy of the originals....very nice quality
btw....your intake looks sick azz....be sure to post up dyno's
i'd go stainless too if i were you

BTW, the thermal gaskets seem to be working well. I drove to a meet on Sat. night from work and opened my hood. I layed my hand completly flat on the manifold for about 5 sec. and didn't det burned. It was def. warm but nothing like stock.

Sorry about so many questions - just trying to decide which spacer to go with. I like the idea of this thermal barrier gasket. For a long time I have though about ways to reduce the temperature of the intake.
Thanks,

I noticed that you have a NX N2O system. How does the Kinetix SSV coupled with nitrous feel to you? Better performance, HP gains/loss? Any dyno #'s with and without nitrous? Thanks.
