Curious, what valve springs and retainers are you using with this build? I see what you used in your last build (much appreciated by the way). I'd imagine you're not going to leave it stock with the plans you outlined. Let me know if you have any questions that need answering or want to talk some tech - email, PM, or call if you like. Happy to help.

Wow haha!!! Very unexpected!! I appreciate you taking time to check out my thread and looking through the old build!!

And I didn't have the other head/valve train in there for very long ... and I like to see how far I can push things .. Curt Brown and I talked for a long about how he selects parts and educated me quite alot .. and about your products and needless to say he made a beiliver of me and I've been nothing but amazed, excited and impressed ... and with the success from the last build I am all the same parts!! And I'm adding your HLA also.. very very excited to have the set up running and put it to work

And I will definitely take you up on the tech talk haha

That huge turbo looks cool hanging there, but the lag is going to be so bad you won't even enjoy driving the car. You will be lucky to see 12-15lbs of boost by the time you hit 9500rpm in first gear. Second gear you'll be lucky to hit 20-25lbs. Unless you put nitrous on the car to spool that thing up you will get your azz handed to you every time by a car with an HTA86 on it. Car will be fine if you plan to roll race from a 75mph... Good luck, but you need to think about this.

Speaking of crank case pressure, how are you venting? It looks like you have stock fittings on the valve cover

I have a borg airwerks turbo as well (67mm), Im not worried about lag at all, the turbo should spool nicely.
