Here's the latest update to the project and a little eye candy... I installed the valve covers from Carbon Fiber Valve Covers.com (http://www.carbonfibervalvecovers.com/carbonvc.htm) and the new front accessory drive from Synister Products (http://www.synisterproducts.com/).

The carbon valve covers not only look incredible, but the engineering behind them is first rate. I was impressed when I put the O-ring seal in the channel in the covers. They fit like they were a factory piece.

The front accessory drive is annodized black and is damn trick. I haven't pressed on the balancer hub yet, but you get the idea. The T-stat housing is billet and annodized black.

I'm pretty stoked how it all came out, but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Very nice Scott. Does that drive system have AC available?

As Tony pointed out, that's the Red Witch. It also has the bitchin carbon fiber valve covers. :thumbsup:

Thanks Jay. Yep, AC is definitely an option, but I didn't want it in my car. :)

I have the same without breathers in the covers. I'm going out of the block-off plate under the intake manifold and running black braided lines to remote breathers hidden in the fenderwells.
