I was at Dave's today for the initial start up and the car sounded good. Now all he needs to do is pick up some new injectors and hit the dyno.

Congrats Dave, Those should help wake the car up, they did for me. I'll be sticking with my 205's for a long time, even when I go more cubes.

That should really liven the car up a bunch!

Out of curiosity, when you pulled your old heads, did the head bolts feel like they wanted to break off, twisting a TON as you were taking them out? If so you know what I'm talking about.... that's the most un-nerving feeling.

I had to put a pipe on my wrench to get the head bolts off.

I did it with a 2 foot long breaker bar and an impact socket..... same thing really.

Good job though, it feels a ton more rewarding when ya do that kind of stuff yourself. The bolts on the back of the heads holding the grounds on are fun too.... I put all 3 back on wht one bolt when the heads went back on, I wasn't messing with trying to put 3 of those damn things on LOL.

The grounds were actually not that bad to put back on. I had a problem taking them off, as I did not know they were there until I took the heads off the block and they would not come forward.

I was warned about them.. only reason I knew they were there. Those bolts are a Pita to get to, my big hands + not alot of room and a really tight bolt..... not fun.

All went back on your car with one bolt I assume like I did LOL.

Get it tuned... and enjoy! Gonna be 12 bolt time now though
