Yep, had Carlos do a color match on EB for the VC and catch can. 
Hey man! looking forward to more events once it gets warm again. AMS is a great shop they will treat you great.

If I could give you some advice on the AMS head. I bought a used one from a member on here. Turns out the machine shop they use to build the head cracked it when installing the valve guides. Which is why the motor it was on consumed oil and trashed the brand new AMS 2.3 block. But the guy I bought it from didn't know that the head was no good until he sold it to me and I sent it to Headgames for a once over/cleaning. He was able to verify it wasn't from anything other than installing error. Also the porting was way too big for anything under 700whp.
So with that being said. I think your money can be better spent on a nicely hand ported head. I would suggest Dave at Headgames. There are other reputable shops out there. Nice build man. Props for doing things yourself. I'd never have a shop do work I can do myself.

I can barely take any credit for this build. jesse and david( both evom members) have helped immensely with this car. With out them I could never have done this.
The F1-i and boomba TB finally came in last week.
Transmission should be in late this week and everything will be put back together on February 26th for the tune in march.
