For all the LT1 guys...
I was just browsing LS1tech and came across this car: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt...-thread-3.html
Pretty sweet that a 19 year old is doing a turbo build and built everything by himself(motor, trans, fabbed the turbo manifold, etc.)

Kinda pisses me off. I thought I was the only one with that color intake manifold but looks like alot of work went into it and so far appears to be real clean set up.

I think since the block is painted blue and those wp fittings are blue, he would have to go another color like black or it would just look horrible,
Edit- but you're not really going to see much at all of the wp once the intake is on. My WP is painted and with my intake on you can barely see any of it due to the radiator/fans and intake.

there's a trigger wheel behind the balancer and he's using a stand alone to control LS1 coils
