130- Came with the fans. Nice little setup and I've run my car hard for a solid 20 minutes without a bump in coolant temps. Good investment. For whatever reason, the factory one couldn't keep up.

That might cause some spool problems eh?

Not good. Unfortunately I've tuned my car with this big hole. Fortunately - I ran high 12's with this big hole and I'm about to plug it :)

It's crazy how vibration can do alot of damage!

I'm painting or powdercoating my valve cover. Looking for suggestions...

White - Clean, matches the car, I have a clean engine bay and it might look nice.

Black - Low key, looks factory, matches my intercooler piping, easier to maintain.

I would say paint it white, but take your time

Why paint instead of Powdercoat? -> Money ;)

If you do it right, it will last

If you don't want to paint to chip when you put the bolt back on it, you must grind the paint down under the area where the bolt will be

And why white instead of black ?
here is why:

Hmmm.. I like it. I'm not sure I like the way it looks on the car. Might look better on mine because my engine bay is white and its clean. I'm still leaning towards a nice wrinkle black... On the fence.
