I double taped all inlets to the blower rotors; first layer is the green no residue stuff the body shops use, outer layer is gorilla tape, double thick, double sticky

I can't believe the tape held up to that chem strip. What'd you use Jasco?

Doesn't all the hardware have to come off for the polish? Looks great, and like said above you have done a meticulous job, well done!

thanks bro I try to do everything the right way, at least what I consider to be the right way

the hardware will be fine because those bolts are getting replaced with ARP SS 12pts, in fact, the the whole blower/manifold/J-Tube/TB setup is getting them.

I used Aircraft Stripper, not as strong as I remember it being, but it got the job done just fine none-the-less.

If you get the *** end down you'll have better weight transfer.

eventually I may go a little lower, but for right now I know there are no driveline vibrations the way it sits so for tuning/break-in purposes I'll call it good
