He's one of our sponsored drivers, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't want any details of his build being revealed. Sorry.

Doesn't that defeat the point of sponsoring him?

There is a LOT of one-off and proprietary work on that car, along with a talented driver. I fully expect the car to be a monster once it's chasing records.

When is the car going to be completed?

What are the benefits of having the header pipes cross over like that?

is this Specialized in Huntington Beach? I saw CSG recommended them somewhere in the forums once and I live in HB.

How much were you charged if you don't mind me asking. I'm considering Specailzed or Embee.

Should I get the coating over the Ace tag or tape it off to keep it visible?

Yeah I got it done at specialized coatings
You can't see the plate but this was actually the first ace header serial 0001
I believe it was around 300 dollars for outer and inner coating

Overall I'm happy with the finish and it seems to be holding up nice

There was. From ACE themselves who I thought had a distributer agreement with CSG. But they either broke it or cancelled it.
