thanks guys! im swamped at work this week, waiting on the cyl head from headgames and trans from TRE to proceed forwards in getting the car running

right now im just doing small stuff, like relocating battery to trunk, removing a poor turbo timer install, and wiring up a little stereo.. also mounted a nascar front splitter as my lip, in order to make the stock evo 8 bumper extra wide and cover the evoX LCA's + 275's

Thanks to Dave and Tiffani @ Headgames Motorworks for prepping Full-Race's project Evo8 cylinder head. After speaking with Headgames and Kiggly Racing, they both feel the OE evo8/9 cylinder head ports are actually a very good design and with only a top notch valve job blended into the port - you can realize tremendous gains without the expense and increased runner volume that comes with a ported cyl head

kiggly beehive valve springs + ferrea valves + kelford 272 is the setup I chose. so here is my head on the flowbench, i asked headgames to share the data on here and he will make a post in this thread with more info. Obviously this build is not a dynoqueen or drag/track car, so i did not want big power porting or giant cams

Wish they had a dyno sheet of a stock head vs stock head+valvetrain vs ported head+valvetrain... that would be some really good data.
