How secure is that cap plug on the valve cover elbow? Just for security I think it needs a nice yellow-cad plated hose clamp on it.

Recommend you paint/powdercoat it to match the intake, not the car.

Also, consider adding some decals to the intake and valve covers. You can get them from Bertrand.

Rob, if there is ever any pressure in the block it will blow that cap off, and we definitely want to know that. So Alan don't put a hose clamp on it.

I think the flat aluminium of the supercharger and the polished of the tube clash a little. That tube sure looks nice though, he did a great job!! Can't wait to get a few in here
I would have to vote for PC or a flat aluminium finish on the tube. Your intake and cam covers seem to have a gold tint to them and I'm just not sure about the tube having that color also. Also I think it would be sweet if the letters in the cam covers had some color to them. Maybe something that matched the tube and other parts
