Thumbs up Free bling and horsepower update

It's hard to see good in the picture but i polished the top section of the plenum.A little engine bling-bling.It took me a while but worth it.I also ported and polished the inside.I still got a little more wet sanding to do and a finish polish.Next is on to the supercharger.Havent figured out what exterior part i'll bling.Was gonna polish the whole plenum but to many nooks and crannys to do.Not a bad mod for free.A little bling and some horsepower at the same time.

Looks pretty cool. Another option is to have some parts powder coated. They have some pretty outrageous colors available and it would look good with some parts polished and others powder coated.

Check out some of the finishes available:

Nice job

I'd love to polish the whole thing, but I don't have the patience for that.
