Got started on a detail on my car since I got bored earlier today, but couldn't finish. Got the hood and front fenders done and whole car washed though. My paint had tons of swirls and micromarring when I first got it. Here's some examples of my progress so far:

no problem, I only hope it can stay this clean with this florida weather (rains every other day)
 
Very nice work. I bet it even moves faster now......a clean car always does.

Thanks for taking the time to take the pics and post this. I know how much time it takes.

Thanks again.
 
looks like an endorsement for the UDM ... many so many pics however !
 
awesome car, its faster when its clean right? haha

Why the recirculating BOV?

I bet shes a pulls like a train, what size turbo?
 
so I saw that you polished it, but did you wax it? if so what wax did u use?

it's extremely fun to drive, even with it's new powerglide believe it or not. i still don't have the stones to turn the boost up (extra 150rwhp) :o
 
Did I read correct-that car is 630hp?? anything over 400hp is sick IMO!!

That's actually the correct way to do it. Look at OEM systems. Most people like the sound of the BOVs, so they just vent them to the atmosphere, and it is less work than if you recirculate them back into the system. Once the air has been metered by the MAF, the fuel has been added for it. If the BOV releases the air to the atmosphere, the car will go fat (you will see the puff of black smoke from the exhaust when it happens). If you recirculate it into the system, it maintains the correct A/F ratio.

Im pretty sure he's not running a MAF, most like speed density, just a map sensor. But I could be wrong. His setup would max out a MAF pretty quickly.

Your right their is always the stealth factor, but call me rice but I think they sound cool, and there isnt really much stealth about a 630whp cobra lol
