Before I put my SC back on cleaned the exterior to perfection and polished the mouth with my dremel

The fella that made mine was a fabricator master Top of that 90 perfectly kisses the bonnet insulation and sweeps down to the MAF and I pushed it into the stock airbox. I had a cone/separator but it performed better with the stock airbox!!

Thanks! He powder coated as you can see. His username. Is XJR-0220. He is from Utah. He sold his XJR to some lucky guy for sure. I texted him a couple of weeks ago seeing if he would make me another one for my VDP-SC I recently scooped up

About 13.6 sec. That's the fastest I've seen for a stock car. I was running 13.4-13.5 with an exhaust (at 4000 lbs), so add a couple tenths for completely stock.
