Here's mine. Over break I'm taking of the intake manifold and doing some polishing and major elbow grease cleaning. Soon to come is a nice shinny UDP.Engine Bay Page 1FSTMAX, I would also like to know what cleaner you use. I like your aproach. Clean is better than bling-bling and grease in crevices.

Forgot to say that you guys should remove all those warning stickers unless you plan on reselling. We're not dumb enough to do the stuff the sticker says not to. Whats on those things is common sense.

Tony, when you chrome stuff like manifold and TB do you have to block of the runners and inside of TB or just chrome it also.

Billy, did you polish your manifold yourself? I will be doing that over break. What process did you use? Start with 100Grit and move to 2000, and then a hand buffer or what? How hard is?
