Stand back... he's on the loose with two more bottles with about 15# in them.......

and one more in the hatch! thanks again sir. im tempted for that quick release bottle bracket, but i think im going to wait and buy the fancy dual heated bottle bracket from Nitrous Outlet

just took it on its longest cruise so far this evening after working on it today.

changed the plugs/redid the hatch nitrous a little, changed the passenger side valvecover gasket (which now leaks worse smh)

even had the fiance working on it. did a few 3rd gear highway hits and it actually spun from a 60mph roll (this was all to get data), car even feels better on motor than it did before, and the wideband looks better on the logs

dont think track is gonna be open tomorrow, as rain is forecast. thats fine because then i have a week to double check everything again. whenever the track is open im going and bringing the jet kit

she either turns wrenches or she doesnt get to spend time with me. after 7 years she knows. when i had the G8 GXP she helped me put headers on it in the rain on a downhill gravel parking pad in february, in the dark.

ive had these valvecovers laying around for years and never had a use for them. they didnt clear roller rockers and were cast jegs specials (with alt notch though).

well, a grinder, a dremel, and some channel locks, and they clear. have to find bolts though20221107_213856.jpg20221107_223807.jpg

Got a set like that on my '97 and had to do the same thing on the inside. I started hand grinding and said, puck dis, too much work. I took them to a friends machine shop and had him carve them out on his milling machine. It was like slicing butter. Only problem I've had with them is maintaining the shine. They were originally polished to a near mirror finish, but the shine don't last too long.

complete. yes those are regular flat head bolts. but i have both spectre centerbolt t-handles coming along with the cone head hex bolts.

i mean its a solid roller, so old school T-handles for quick valve access/throwback to the glory days or regular bolts???
@Injuneer thoughts??

The T-handles look good. I was envisioning the long T-handle bolt they used on perimeter covers. Hadn’t seen them used with center bolt covers. I wasn’t too crazy about them on the perimeters. The plain bolts would look good too, with a hex socket head, either stainless or black oxide.

Next time I stop by I'll bring the Mothers Billet Metal Polish…..
