all of the brackets for the reinstall of the intake are that red like the thermostat housing. The pully braket for the supercharge is going to be the same as the intake and all the ducting will be the blueof the upper intake. Im also having a local altenator rebuild shop tear down my altenator so i can have the housing powdercoated.

thanks guys! Drawing up a diagram for a stainless steel channel to hold my wiring for my injector and COP plugs. going to have it press breaked and mounts welded in so i can mount it in the same bolt holes as my fuel rails. Thinking it will really clean up the mess of wire loom above those valve covers and let them show. Now all i need is to get a set of stainless long tubes andefans and the engine compartment will really start to look killer.

i called trick flow direct and read online for days how to solvery it and found out but simply installing a GOOD low micron air/oil seperator it solves the problem. i also tight welded a set of baffled out of small aluminum angle iron from work to a plate of flat stock aluminum mimicking the factory baffled and installed them in the existing bolt holes in the new valve covers. i bought them from summit racing.

Nice.
Debating doing this or bagging the truck next year.
Your engine bay is going to be sweet when you're done with it.
