yeah, a regular shut off valve would have been better, and would look more "industrial." Oh well, my dad-in-law did it and im not going to change it. The intake is just the standard "satin"finish. Which is just the way the aluminum is cast. My only complaint about the Weiand intake, is that there are about 15 holes to plug.

Well I got it on the road toda:) Man, what a difference. The secondaries still aren't opening all the way thanks to the stupid mechanical linkage. I will have some more tuning to do in the next few days.

The car is running great, it had picked up a lot of upper RPM power and is getting much better mileage. I sent the Knotts form in yesterday so hopefully I will get in.
