No can do tonight, heres a general update!

So, heads/cam and all the other BS stuff is complete, exhaust welded up and ready to rock, PCM swap is complete and running great.

Doc and I were on the road doing some tuning (well he was tuning i was driving :p) and everything was going great, Car is a BEAST. So then, i let off the gas after some "Spirited acceleration" and all we see behind us is a huge cloud of white smoke!

Limped the Car to the nearest gas station to check the damage, fearing the worst. After a close inpsection it seems that my harmonic balancer did not like all the new found horsepower, and the white smoke was oil from my front seal landing on my headers.

So, 1 ARP balancer bolt on order will be here tomorrow, and new Balancer from the stealership will be as well. Should have it up and running for sundays meet no problem for the official unveiling!
