Not at the moment, all my parts are painted already.
If he would get a high temp, I'd have him do my headers. C'mon JOE! Speaking of which, anyone know any good ceramic coating places around Wisconsin?
difference is where you want your power band. do you want it where the 2.5L SVT cams put the power, ie up top, or do you want the mid range of the 3L cams.

Here is the difference in the cam lobes and what it means for the motors performance band. Good discussion in this thread too:

a jaguar upper intake all PC'd, or a ST220 (i know, i know) would also look good.
i'm going to start looking for the jaguar UIM and see how bad it fits.

If I could find a ST220 intake, I would. I'm sticking with the split port upper for now.
