Why would you think they would leak? Gas tanks on bikes are sometimes made with carbon and don't leak.

Mike it looks good! Go with the CF, I think they would look great on your car. I'm thinking of getting some myself as they offer them for the LT1 with the needed alt. clearance...not many do for some reason.

Also, we need vid of that thing running!!

Hey Anthony. I think the carbon's are going to be the way to go, just have to run it by the crew first. I should hope to have video at weeks end. I know they are driving it first without the supercharger hooked up, then after so many miles they are going to hook it up. It should be done at weekend end. Ill be armed with a video camera.

Mike -

Your car looks great. What size ProCharger is that ? Bet you can't wait to fire that up and push some boost. The CF covers would look really nice in your engine compartment. Post some video clips when you get it up and running.

Carbon ones are nice, but only if you can tie them into the car with some hints of carbon other places as well. You definetly need them to be a finish other than polish/chrome to help give your engine bay more offset (the black ones look good there now.

What about those other CHEVROLET ones? with the raised milled off letters like the ZZ572 covers? You could powder them any color you want. If you do that then powder paint the gloss black parts of the new blower (tubing parts) in a matching color. You need to keep a sense of continuity with the colors and textures.

You could also find a set of plain covers, poweder them then have them laser engraved or milled to say something specific to your enigne.

Did any of that make sense? lol

Steve, I did take that all into consideration and even though he doesn't have any other CF on the car, I felt he has enough black going onto help it work....but I do see your point, and that's one reason I haven't ordered mine.

Mike, since we're spending your money. How about going with an elbow and single blade TB like mine (to get rid of the black hat) and a CF intake tube like on Arts Corvette....that should tie it all in well!
