Does the engine funtion better and more efficient?
Whats the point?

It's called an 'appearance mod'.

Great write-up and pix, with diagrams, I just have to say your white gloves replaced anytime you get a little oil on them, that's professionalism bordering on obsession.
Its not a bad thing (maybe?)... it shows you have a passion in this line of work.

My buddy Leo did the same mod to his Shaker shroud and he had some door edge trim leftover (I'm pretty sure he bought it from Pep Boys).I used a router bit on the Dremel for the cut, then a hand file to smooth and even out all the edges.

LOL!! It's not that clean. Didn't you see the dust on my COP's? [8D]
Since it's not my DD, it get's spared from the rain and such, that itself helps a whole lot in keeping the engine bay clean. And yeah I drive it, just broke 1300 miles!

Bill, Why is your engine so clean? Do you ever drive that car? Oh my gosh , you must spend hours keeping it clean. Great write-up as always! Cheers!

I am sure that with this mod alone - he is producing an additional 15+ HP...... you must be careful however.... with the lighter aftermarket cam cover this may create unwanted wheel lift during launch. (said with extreme sarcasm of course -- its just for looks man)
