It comes with a billet oil fill tube that you have to install yourself into the valve cover. Just try to place it so that it is not right over top of a rocker, or it will likely leak oil (yes, I know this from experience ).

Also I can vouch for that kit, it has treated me well so far.

Matt, what kind of ET's have you been turning with the trickflow set-up?

Well my car is probably not the best example of what this kit could actually do since one of my cylinders is shot and is showing only 42 psi compared to the rest at 115-120 psi with a compression test. But the best time I ran with my 7 cylinder stang was a 14.4 @ 98mph with a crappy 2.2 60ft on a 225 wide street tire at a really bad elevation of 2200 ft. above sea level so that hurts the time a little bit (not to mention I am probably not the greatest driver out there and I don't powershift the car in fear of a T5 in a million pieces). I am sure I could have taken the car down a few tenths with a set of drag radials at this same elevation.

Not too bad for a V7 I guess... I've got buddies with stock 5.0's that do run on all 8 cylinders and they can't break into the 14's.

So when are you getting it running on all 8 cylinders?

I am fixing the motor this winter. I have a new Pro Bullet 331 stroker shortblock from DSS sitting in my garage and I am pulling the old motor out this weekend. I have huge plans for the car over the winter, it is going to be a totally different car next spring in both looks and performance, lots of work ahead.
