After months of sleeping... (video)

IT LIVES!!!
started it up today and took it for a beat run after filling it with gas(93, not ethanol) Also I am happy to announce that Cams will be the next mod for me. Also am well on my way to a larger turbo. I shold have no problem eclipsing the 300awhp mark with cams and 8lbs, all permitting.

here is a quick vid, for no reason.

Sounds awesome, like a big angry cat.
Gauges look good, too.

Ya, Its the only thing really holding me back. I should be able to make good power on the otherwise stock motor. I want you to install them, if thats cool with you? I am not even going to pretend like i know/want to do them.

Really?? They are easy man. if you can build a turbo system, you can install exhaust cams.... What are you doing about valves?

Stock. 36MM is large enough for me. Now that i can clear the exhaust out in a proper manor, and not peak my power band at 3k RPM, I will be able to make a good chunk of power.

I do not even have a place to work on her anymore. Really kinda sucks, but I am sure i will end up doing them in my parents garage haha.
