the cage also prevented me from putting the stock brake booster back on so im running floor mounted pedals with dual brake MC so i should have a perfectly shaved firewall

Great work on the cage, engine, and from what I can tell the rest of the mechanical.

Now please take some time to line that hood up and paint it a non-ugly color makes me sad to see so much time and attention invested and the outer bits completely ignored. Granted, I understand it probably wasn't a priority and all...but its like those girls at the gym, fine body, in shape and all...then she turns around and its all JESUS CHRIST DID YOU GET HIT IN THE FACE WITH A SHOVEL?!?

Suppose that's just a personal preference of mine, though. I'd say great job and you're almost done.

P.S. Kudos for not having a wing or deck spoiler. Also better looking IMHO.

Love the intake manifold. How are you planning to build it?I've been wanting to build my own for a long time instead of having to spend an arm and a leg on a Hypertune.

i did but im the kind of person that believe u should stick with ur manufacturer i know its stupid and sometimes in compromise of performance however im starting my fab company and plan on manufacturing intake manifolds, transmission adapters, exhaust manifolds and various other performance parts for the vh it has a lot of potential just no aftermarket support so a good business to get into due to the lack of competition
