Sorry Gang...We decided to change the placement of the MAF and the BOV...Probably ready tomorrow. Here are the pics of the rotors for my car, and the V8TT emblem in rough stage, not polished or powdercoated yet...

Cross-Drilled Rotor is my choice

Different angle

V8TT before finishing

Another

Last one

I guess you haven't been reading this thread...Go back and search, and you will find quite a bit of info in this thread on this subject...But, the answer is Piggy Back.

An update

Gang:

We ran into a few problems...All due to the fact that the previous two shops had removed parts that there were no earthly reasons to remove...

Unbelieveable!! There were three parts missing from my car....So, we have had to address this and are delayed...

I will tell you that Frank got the car running smoothly, and the idle was perfect. He then revved up the engine while I was on the phone..unbelieveable, and what I heard sounded monstrous and wonderful...music to my ears...

Frank is cleaning up the mess and dealing with the delay...Hopefully, this will be done by this weekend.

Ryan
