Its looking more like im going to bring them to the machine shop on Tuesday. They said they will have the head complete at the end of the week so thats good news!

Devin@Boostin had my head off the car right away which i thank him so i could get my lifters and Rocker arms out there with the new head Today i am ordering the 5" FMIC from ETS. Hopefully I can get it within a week and a half so everything can go together at once. If not, I sold my old 4" FMIC to a good buddy and he said if i can't get it in time for the dyno, i can borrow my old one until the new one comes in. I have a good feeling that it will come in a week or so though so i can use the new one!

The only pain about switching to the Evo 8 head is now finding a valve cover. I have a local buddy who has a extra one (red) but im going to send it out next week to get my matching purple like my old valve cover A few little changes and were good to go. I was talking to Devin and were planning to get the JUNK BOX on the Dyno not next week but the following. Then track that same weekend! I cant wait to get back out there. Stay tuned for more updates and progress!
Joey - what other changes should we make to swap E8 head to E9?

This is very interesting thing, but I am not sure if it will make some advantage.

I would start with more agressive cams. Evo 8 head in general will flow better and make more power. Once i get everything together and running i will let you know how it goes. Dyno will come after the car is completed

Cam gear, camshafts for Evo 8, since I have AEM EMS I can use my Evo 9 AEM and by pass the mivec and not having to switch to the 8 AEM or go out and By a new harness. Also need to have a evo 8 valve cover since the mivec valve cover is a little different.

UPDATE!!

Head is at the machine shop as we speak! I ordered the kiggly oil pressure regulator and the HKS Adjustable cam gears and they should be on the way here. Aso early next week, looks like im going to get the Clear cam cover also Everything is starting to come together pretty quicky. The goal is to go on the Dyno next weekend or late in the week! Here is a video that Boostin has of the Junk Box when it went 9.28 a few months ago. I found this video the other night and it was a cool angle from behind. The pass was right before my 9.1 pass back in June. Cant wait to get back out there with these new changes
