Oh and the intake is going to stay RED!!!!! for a RACE CAR!!!!

Alt. are very easy to polish, basically the same as porting only keep going finer with the sand paper, then hit a polishing wheel. As for the water pump, for some reason they must use lower grade alum. I did a few and there were allot of air pockets and inperfections although I've seen a WP housing and elec. housing polished and that looked very impressive! I had polished my housing, but it was such a PITA to keep clean plus you can't see it under the elbow, so I ended up going with paint when I did the elec. pump. That would be painted BLACK, the color of the FASTEST RACE CARS!

If you want to take a shot at polishing I have allot of the various abrasives and wheels I can bring over and we can do it.

I MUST agree with Ron's comment...

Black > Dale Earnhardt = enough said.

Black; "Intimidating", sinister, stealth, mean, nasty, etc., etc.


Red; Red is for girls!!! J/K!!!!!

Red sucks now... why? BECAUSE IT DOESNT FIT!!!!!!!!!

I tried to bolt it up last night. It doesnt fit. I guess the .010 of the deck and the .039 gasket on the TFS head was too much. I think I have to hae it milled. I hate to do that but it might have to be done.
