Latest eye candy, Carbon Fiber Valve Covers and a front accessory drive system anodized black from Synister Products.  The parts are nothing short of amazing.  Pictures don't do them justice.  In some of these pics, the balancer isn't installed yet.

Headers from Kook's Custom Headers.  They are 304 stainless steel, 1 7/8" primaries with 3" venturi collectors.  They have the LS7 flange and are made specifically to work with the unique exhaust port shape of the LS7.

There was an issue with the steering shaft and the number one primary, so I sent the Kooks Headers to Stenod Performance to have it moved.  As long as they were there, I had them install a set of V-band collector flanges.  They did a fantastic job!

Custom stainless steel EFI fuel tank from Rick's Hot Rod Shop.  It has a Walbro 255 in tank pump, a GM 0-90 ohm sending unit, and has the corners beveled for extra clearance for getting the 3" tailpipes over the DSE Quadra-Link.
