[QUOTE=ramos45;4274632]Just got done painting the one intake that's gotta go on for dyne. tomorrow the blower gets painted and next week it goes to dyne. here's a pic of one of the many little side projects going on.

3/16 acrylic cut with a battery powered jigsaw and shaped with a heat gun. Going to wrap it in matte CF 3m Dinoc. what you guys think on gauge placement? i was thinking symmetrical but I kind of like having two of the same gauge side by side for easy reference at a quick glance. The two outer I will keep as boost as those are the least risky out of fuel pressure, water pressure and boost.

Looking good. What do u have going behind the acrylic? I might have missed an earlier pic however it appears your taking your time and thinking things through. That's important and always nice the first time around. Keep up the good work. You'll keep your eyes on boost frequently as well. Perhaps not as savy looking but on my current build/restoration I'm powder coating bezels different color to stand out a bit. As much as you may know your gauges, placement etc. things happen extremely fast especially with a few buds and rough water.

I've heard of a few laminating real CF behind acrylic and getting a real deep look but keeping mine scratch free during mock up was impossible and really don't care to spend time polishing acrylic so decided to wrap it. thanks for the kind words

Should make good power, I'm sure you will be happy. We just dyno'd my 525sc with 265 AFR's and a Bob Madara cam last Wednesday. Was very pleased with the results.
