I used the Cool White leds above and have ZERO hotspots. They are verrrrrry cool white...almost too cool, but actually just right. I'll be doing the rest of the interior to match this winter.







Since the engine bay pic was taken, i have fabricated my own aluminum cross brace in addition to the stock turbo brace, powdercoated my valvecover in silver, installed a custom stainless intake with cone filter and routed my PCV through a -12AN hose/fitting from the valvecover to the intake. I'll post pics soon when I wash the car.

This dyno was without the cams, intake, and cam gears. I believe I also had a boost leak and a poorly tuned EBC. Going back to the dyno soon and hope to have significantly higher numbers!

And this is what I started with:

Future mods:
-Methanol injection - Thinking about doing "CoolingMist" brand due to the nice gauge/controller:


Otherwise, i am looking at Devil's Own, AEM, Alcohol Injection Systems, AquaMist, JoeO, and custom.

-AEM F/IC Fuel and Injection controller to control my AFRs only. I want to add tons of meth during boost and want to dial back the fuel. Also, use my AEM gauges to do some datalogging. Hopefully hit over 300WHP.
-New Tan leather interior from leatherseats.com
-New Redline shift boot and eBrake boot
-100% new audio system including Touchscreen DVD/CD/MP3?iPod player, Phoenix gold 6.5" comps in doors, Rockford Fosgate 4" comps in rears, custom sub boxes to house 4 total Tang Band 5-1/4" Subs, and a couple of amps. Of course this means 100% new wiring and i'd like to make use of my windshield antenna.
-Custom low-rise HID kit with OEM Cadillac XLR Bi-Xenon projectors
-HID 4300K fogs to match headlights
-LED front corners to match HIDs
-All LED interior
-Possibly new 7" navigation unit if I'm ambitious enough:

Very nice!

I like it so far, especialy the led's.... for myself I'd go to a color even more closer to white... that makes my eyes like this ^^

My new steering wheel gauge pod *PICS*

It's not perfect, but works very well and is very inexpensive. I am planning to buy a 2nd steering column cover to fabricate a new triple gaugepod when I finish my water/meth injection system.

So you did make it after all....... Thanks for the link....
