blower scoop

After taking input from fellow forum members I decided with the sublte scoop (lower) look and finally painted the hood as well.

Looks badass!

I sorta find it funny that the whole intake and supercharger dwarfs the engine tho... hahaha

If I saw that on the street I wouldnt mess with it...

Looks sweet. I wonder what it would look like red to match the hood with black butterflies? Almost so it looks like a scoop built into it?

90% approval rating, I'm touched! Right now I'm trying to wire up a new cd deck. Figured out the power and accessory power, but it just doesn't wanna power up (yep I grounded it too). I used a test light to confirm power and ground but no luck and ran out of time. When i put the power and grounds directly on the battery it powers up just fine. Getting this done is the next step so I can install the nitrous and hard wire the qtec electronics.

As promised here is the qtec video, had to use shareware as my software wasn't working. Turn the volume up to get the full effect http://s222.photobucket.com/albums/d...S_01_0_NEW.flv
