Awesome build! I wish my LT1/FC looked like this!

What parts did you use for your intake setup? I really like it. Right now mine is just a 3.5" K&N directly on the MAF :D

Also, are you Hedmans ceramic coated? If so, where did you get this done at? I'm debating on whether to bother doing it to the Edelbrocks laying in my garage.

Again, kudos on a super clean ride!
