Here are a couple of pics of my Hemi... The engine is almost done so it can soon be placed between the front fenders of my Charger...

I had a guy my buddy knows apply his airbrushing skills on the valvecovers. I sent the ugly chrome valvecovers to him and asked him if he could make them look cool.. I never in my life expected the covers to look this awsome :2thumbs: .... I have also applied a new coat of Hemi Orange paint on the block, waterpump, intake and walleypan...

-I hope it will last through the whole season 2008.. I did not do so well with the old 440, I just hope the Hemi has not cached any bad Voodoo...

Yea those chrome valve covers add about 50 horse, but flames are about 200....j/k The engine looks awesome, and well i figure a little bit of eye candy is fine as long as you can back it up with horse power....and i think there would be NO problem there. Im going to say 9.1's...

Is it bad juju to paint flames on your engine? Maybe it's one of those reverse psychology things...  Looks fast.
