Car is back together and running. Man it's been a h-ll of a weekend. I'm really tired so I'll tell more about it later, but here's an exhaust video clip and the link to the picture album. I did get the 3.4" pulley on, but haven't really been able to get on it because I'm giving the fuel trims time to settle. Enjoy!

It's loud as heck man. I love how it sounds, I just wish it were a bit quieter. I'm going to have to have a downpipe welded up after my header install, so I'll probably have my exhaust guy put a glasspack in while it's all apart.

Put it this way - with 1 being ridiculously simple and 10 being impossible, I'd call it easily an 8.

I have two concerns. One being the sound, good luck getting races now!! WOOT! And the other, I only see exhaust fumes coming out the driver side exhaust tip, unless the video isn't capturing the passenger side tip. But I hope this time you get what you put in, HP!

CamSwap12-16 pics, I wish my big @$$ could get up on the engine bay and do that. 6'5" and hate to bend the knees like that, I will just stick to the ground and work from there!!

some light rope inserted into the holes for the spark plugs will hold the valves up and keep them from falling in.

Man that exhaust sound makes me jealous.

another way is to get an adapter for an airhose, and compressed air will hold it up, doesnt take alot of preasure, just a few pounds to hold the valve up.
