Battery relocation!!!!!

well i wanted to clean things up under the hood and one of the easiest ways to do that was wire lume all the wires and relocate the battery to the back. i also wanted to give the engine bay a lil more bling so i got a high flow fuel filter and a fuel pressure gauge, they dident have enough braided line in stock for the fuel lines but im getting it all monday. im taking all the rubber factory hose out and replacing it with -6 AN line from the fire wall to the fuel rail. i had the mount for it all made at a local machine shop, along with the catch can i think the fits ugly engine bay is really turning around for the better.

lol yea all the XRP AN lines are in that classic red in blue but to do them all in the polished was like an extra 3 or 4 dollars a fitting, and when there about 20 fitting right now it all adds up but thanks for the comment bro

and fitcapo thank u as well

well since your fit is broken take off the aluminum runners from your intake manifold and port match them to the head. you can take off about 2mm. i think it would really help with the response but i dont have numbers to prove it.

after going boost the intake manifold becomes the most restricting part since porting
head is kinda out of the question.
i spy a budweiser cap in the first picture.

ahh thanks for the tip where do you buy this? =P i mean honestly i wanted to get some and the only place that i usually go get stuff from.. well more like my friends get their stuff from (as in paint) is at autozone and i usually see the black wrinkle paint one only... red or yellow is what im looking for =)

EDIT: does the paint has to be wrinkle?

Why?
The L15 doesnt need a fuel cell, the fuel pump I can understand.
