Default FMIC kit from EPP

As always EPP are top notch. I went through the kit with them on the phone and found few missing parts. No one made any excuses or complained... They said the missing parts are going out today. Very good bunch of guys to deal with.

Anyways here is what the FMIC kit looks like

Can't wait to get my LME 408 Short block and my AFR 225's soon. I want to get my baby rolling again.

I think Bob at EPP was advertising $850 for the FMIC kit on the boards. If you want the elbow and filter its extra, but im not sure how much since i paid for everything together with the shipping too.

Because I went with the custom 32cc dish Wiseco pistons and the 72cc heads. Also in the future im going to be running a 18-20psi or so from a F1-R so the lower C/R helps me stay away from detonation.

Im still thinking over the cam specs... Im thinking a 230/240 114 LSA with .610 .620 lift. That would give me a 7 degree overlap which is not too bad on a blower car.

What cam are u going to be running?

I knew Bob was good, but a free PS2 with a FMIC kit. That just cannot be beat.
