      Any plans to shave the valve cover?

          Yup!  Original intake mani support castings will be shaved - and breather shaved/relocated for AN line.  Other things are just taking precedent first.

            Still up for debate.  I saw these and want to do something similar:

                I think most of you have seen these - but adding here anyways.

                Aeromotive FPR should be here today - and still waiting on my Nuke fuel rail from BimmerHeads (3 weeks and counting)....

                      Almost ready to test fit all the linkage - decide what colors to paint/coat all the linkage parts - disassemble - paint/coat - then reassemble....

                      Almost to the point of not caring - and just assembling so I can finally hear the damn thing run!!!

                        Almost a month since I ordered my Nuke fuel rail - still no leadtime from Bimmerheads.  I'm assuming they get a shipment of parts monthly - but come on already!!!

                        Did get this stuff in tho:

                            Bad idea,  we dont need any Summit vs JEGS rivalries around here. 

                            Instead of grinding the manifold mount on the valve cover, could you make a bracket mounting plate for something that goes there and looks clean?

                              If a mount is needed there I could, but there really won't be anything there to mount...  Also - I plan to shave the breather hose and relocate with an AN fitting to clean up the hose routing.

                              So if I'm gonna go through the trouble - I might as well shave the unnecessary stuff.

                                FINALLY got word from Bimmerheads that my fuel rail should be shipping early next week!!!  Also got all my blue linkage parts back from having the anodizing stripped - and redone in black.  And of course the hardware a done in more zinc...

                                        the black is much improved over the blue.

                                          A bit of adjusting to do - but it's coming together nicely!!!
