Yeah, Duane's video was absolutely amazing, no doubt. It'll take a lot of time till I've got my own Supra on that level of a field!

So its coming along, dont have any pics or anything to show... But will keep you guys posted...

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it... I got most of my fittings in, the rest will be here today... I have a news flash: FITTINGS ARENT CHEAP! yikes... But its all good... All my fittings are either black or silver, so it will look dope, I think... I was planning on plumbing everything this weekend, but dont make plans, something always happens... Now I have to go out of town and do a job, BLAH! But more money for the Supra...

So like I said, I have my fittings and lines in... I was wondering, with these AN fittings, do you need to use T-tape or do you just tighten them down?

Just tighten them down, the flare is where it seals. Don't overtighten it though!
What about the NPT threads? Like for the fuel rail and water neck? Should I use t-tape on there? Would it hurt?

Can't wait to see what a gt4067r can do ;)
I hear its suppose to be good for up to 800hp, but I havent seen anyone get NEAR that... ;)

I wouldn't call it amazing, but thanks Jake. To expand on the process, I used a belt sander to grind them away. If you give it a try, be very, very careful or you'll be in the for sale section looking for another set of valve covers. The top of the valve covers are arched from side to side. Trying to get them to look smooth from front to back takes a lot of patience & finesse. Also, there's not a lot of material to work with, the top is relatively thin....
