That's what I'm sayin'!

I didn't want to do purple, as I feel like I would've then had too much in the engine bay, throwing off the theme. Thus, I think the black will look great with a Zaklee cover .

I feel like cam gears are that part that's really hard to mess up, but Fidanza managed to do just that .

You could get the AEM anodized purple...

Oh btw, I think I might bolt my house to the engine stand you lend me and pull it over to your place. HOLY HULK ENGINE STAND!

Those look really nice! I have a 6 year old set of Fidanzas on mine and apparently was really lucky that they matched perfect with my oem cam gears. I degree my cams anyways but still nice they aren't as bad as your old set, that's just ridiculous!

I know, man! I put these side to side with the Fidanza's and the quality is so much better on all accounts. I'm actually the one who commented about them on your FB post a little while back .

Apparently Fidanza has quite a few different production runs, each being off a different amount, however, some being dead on, so as Freddie@SpecOps said, it's just confusing as hell to deal with .

I would love to have degreed my motor, but was too damn anxious to get it running that I forgot about it. Maybe I'll have to borrow your degree wheel when I'm out in Anderson again and have at it.

I thought that was you but wasn't sure, I'm assuming you were attending school at the University?

That's definitely a possibility.

Yeah, somehow I ended up out there for school . My clutch died when I got to school last time (I'm the no flywheel bolts guy), so I ended up finding Fathouse as I didn't have any tools/garage/anything to do it myself.
