Default w00t, H/C car started for first time!!

Well after about six months, the car is done!! I know i know, it shouldn't have taken that long, but i took my time doing everything, and also went from A4 to M6 at the same time. Cam is a 227/232 .640/.595 110(+1). I check PTV clearence several times(Clay method) and only the exhaust side had a chance to hit as the piston chased it. I still had .165 on the exhaust side, figured that would be enough even if i get the lifters pushing out. I wasn't able to get a sound clip tonight, but dumping right after the headers it was so F*king loud!! and to think that was at idle... I'm hoping to have it tuned some time next week.. Can't wait...!! I'll try to post up some sound bytes tomorrow...

nice, virtually the same cam I have waiting to install (except mine is a little wider LSA) I'm very interested in what it does.

Nice job! And going M6 at the same time! I might have done something different than the Spec clutch but looks like a fine setup.

BTW Carmel is my old stomping grounds, Grew up in Mahopac...
