Is that Teflon tape on the flare side of an AN adapter?

Great work so far though! Love the fuel pump mounting.

How functional is your hood? I am possibly going to go that route with mine to improve cooling and general heat evacuation. I am curious to know how well it works.

i just put my cf GT300 hood on today,and here are some pics,but my boy has a 90vert and he had no problem with install on the fiberglass one(not cf)my cf had to be cut and adjusted , (elnene7 said he had no problems on his cf hood)it still needs second coat of clear and pins, after that alittle more adjustment, but for cooling my temp. gauge use to be a tad over half way and today it dropped down to just tad under half, so it works good, you can feel all the hot air coming out the top,and the blow off valve, the turbo spooling up is so loud i love it!
