I still want to throw that thing in a river lol.

for those wondering about the intake joke, I found out the hard way with Mike's intake that brand new intakes that have never been heat cycled like to bleed some fun stuff from the molding into the powder during curing. I ended up having to strip it down and start over, something that is not fun given I do things in a manner that is intended for maximum durability lol. I've done probably 30+ Ls6 manifolds now and that was the first brand new one so I didn't know it would do that even after the normal 90 minute outgas prior to coating that I do with those.
