Clean them up. They look so jumbled there in front of the intake. Just get some nice separators, or do the trick I am fond of.

Take a zip tie, wrap it around the whole lot, then put a zip tie between each one as a separator. It looks quite nice and you can use it on any wire/vacuum hose. Not to mention you can get crazy with color coordinating, etc.

Polished supercharger is a good idea.
This car was parked next to me last weekend and it got a lot of looks.

If you want to clean it up a bit and do a PI swap, here's what you can do.

Paint the new valve covers

Paint the intake manifold like slow90coupe did on his

And here's some more stuff that you can probably do in the future to clean it up

Hmmm. I hadn't seen your engine in a while.


A PI swap with a cop conversion and battery relocation would probably make that thing instantly stand out.

t-dog:

#1)
you can paint your heads.

#2)
you can add chrome valve covers (be sure to count the number of mounting holes on whatever heads you end up using)

#3)
you can powder-coat your headers while the heads are out. (they have a shiny powder-coat similar to chrome)

#4
you can powder coat your intake manifold cross-over.

#5
you can buy a chrome/polished throttle body and plenum

thats about it when swapping heads on a 2v, brotha.

what intake is that? also is that all upper intake, lol? or is it an intake plus a plenum. i'm gay..i dont know :(

That's a bullit intake manifold + upper plenum + throttle body.
However, I do believe you need PI heads for this intake to work.
Trick flow makes a similar setup for 2v's.

Yes. And PI heads will give you more options.
