Re: Spec V, first build, about $1000
Aganist my anti-bling policy, but it's growing on me. Some shiney stuff to look at:
No problems w/ the alternator, the factory manifold runs behind the alternator and has about 1/2" clearance........ it's going to get heat wraped

If it's going to leak it's going to leak, what allways amazed me was somthing that spun upwards to 100,000 RPM and experienced temps and heat cycles like a turbo does could seal in the first place....................... so when they do go bad, I'm not suprised
