yeah im not fussed on it...later on ill paint it the same as the car :) i tried to get a firerglass one but they didnt make then in that style nor make a standard one in fiberglass that i could do some custom vents in it...the bonnet was to try get some of the heat out :/ still way too hot under there have to buy an aluminum radiator for it, it cools it up to 40% better :)

getting there slowly made 300hp atw @17psi...spins 3rd @ 100kmh ha ha have to hold on lol....as it didnt make as much power or rev as expected some research was done to find the custom 272/300 cams were never zeroed in....they were zeroed in to the custom cam gears which arent right....so i have to zero the cams in mark TDC on the cam gears and change the timing to the right point... then should produce power to 9K and around 400hp atw on pump!!!!!

I as well do not like the hood :(
Once it's painted white it should look much better though

Amazing build, kudos to you man. I've always been advised not to spend too much on my FTO, so I'll be switching cars when my degree is over and I've settled into a better job, but I've always wondered what COULD happen if someone went all out. Thank you, sir, for bringing my dream to life. The car looks and sounds incredible, and I, like everyone else here, can't wait to see the final result. Cheers from far, far away 8)

180 in 4th? I could only hit 180 in my FTO in the top range of 5th!
I mean, I didn't try that....
:P

Build looks awesome though, and I want one!
