thanks guys. Still waiting on a tune and my catch can from STM, but she is ready to start any day... fingers crossed that it works
at that time I used poorboys ssr2.5 and ssr1, orange and white CCS pads with a porter cable 7424. Lately I haven't been able to get good results and it has been frustrating... I learned that I hate polishing now
The cover is from redline goods on here, I think they have a thread about their italian leather shift boots and stuff

I was able to get the car started today and check for leaks, etc... ran great. A little rough at first with the new HLA and dry head, but the ticking eventually went away and now she runs nice and smooth. I haven't driven the car yet, I just got a map for idle so I could do troubleshooting if necessary






so this is what i was tuning yesterday lol. this car looks really nice. i love the valve cover color. car looks well taken care of! your engine bay looks really good!
if memory serves cars making around 430whp atm.

Thanks guys
Yeah, 430whp right now, which I'm happy with for stock cams. I wanted to leave a few more "steps" in my build before I get bored with the power and decide to go with a built motor... So after I get bored with this power level, I can do 272 cams on 93 and then when that gets boring, switch to E85 dual map and hopefully have a really fun stock block vehicle
