Why is the Gen 7 496 such a bad platform to build

Nothing really new happening with my engines, they are up in heated storage till spring, but there is one sort of cool update. Since I am running the ported intake instead of a trick looking sheetmetal intake, I wanted to try and do something to set it apart from a regular old 496 HO. Our very own 502SS (Jim) graciously offered to make some custom stickers for the covers and Larry at Raylar was happy to send me their logo files. Jim knocked it out of the park, and at least now there is something other than sound to indicate these aren't quite stock motors. What do you guys think?

Love it Matt, I would probably paint the plastic as well...maybe red? After redoing my HOs last year I wanted to dress it up as well. New Cowls, Filters and matching blue Plug Wires help set it apart from the family cruiser motor when the hatches are opened.
