With the standard rocker cover...

And finished with the Evo 7 rocker painted metalic black...

 

Looks great! What comp 9:1?

 

I think its 8:1 would that be right?

 

Great looking build, I would love to do something like this with the extra block I have lying around. I love the Evo 7 Valve Cover.

 

I like how you are going to route the dump pipe back into the exhaust... As insanely mean as open dumps sound, it kills the exhaust note.

 

Will this make it louder? Quieter? Sound cool?

 

Do yourself a favor and pick up some decent cams.

Mod list says he has Kelford 272s .

 

Like I said... Considering the headwork and turbo choice, I think S2s or S3s would be a much better choice.

You saying Kelford 272's aint decent???

 

Decent for a stock motor and FP Green, sure.

All I'm saying is for the turbo, headwork, and increase in displacement, I personally think you could see better gains with a more aggressive cam. Just my $0.02.

Ah right,will be using it mostly as a road car with odd bit of drag racing so maybe this is why the Kelfords were chose

 

Choosing parts for the purpose, I completely get that. I look forward to seeing the end result!
