You can make them look like this really easy.

Yep mine are like that, all stock. I guess I shouldn't hate on stock I just prefer nothing running over the supercharger cause I have seen it done and it looks so clean. Yours look pretty sweet for stock though. I need to get into cleaning up My engine bay and the corrosion all over the engine/supercharger.. I heard this is the stuff to clean it: $(KGrHqVHJCEFHBBPr!EEBR)bTWC2+!~~60_3.JPG(88861803 - GM Top Engine And Fuel Injector Cleaner - 16 oz. Container) I was thinking about buying some on ebay for 20$. What did you use to clean the rails?

When you have it all torn apart try to flush the block out as best you can to try to get all the gunk out of there. Does it look like the coolant is mixed with oil? You might want to look into replacing the Lower intake manifold gasket if your oil is mixing with coolant. The pcm is fine just sitting on that ledge after you take the airbox out. I just ziptied mine down and its fine like that. The DIY intake is the best option. Just some home depot pvc pipe and a rubber coupler and a $40 cone filter and you're good to go. There's tons of info on here that'll help you out as you go. The search bar is kind of hidden up towards the top but you can find anything you need through there. If you can't find it feel free to ask.

The coolant looked fine for the most part besides a little stuff floating in it, there is a coating in the colant tank and everything else I assume, like a sticky residue. I purchased a K&N filter im gonna stuff in the bumper if it'll fit.. Thanks.
