Never got it out to the track this year. Guess you could say I never finished the old setup or got the bugs worked out. Opportunity knocked and I went ahead with this

Swapping heads in car is a breeze. You shouldn't have any problems.

I've heard it's easily doable with everything out of the way. I did it with the motor out of the car, but you should have no problems

Yes many times with all the a/c stuff in place. Gotta pull a couple studs but it's no big deal. Very easy.

He is routing them back into the downpipes. I had a dumped WG on my single kit and i didn't care for it. It also made it pretty dirty under the car.

I have done head swaps before but i was just concerned about the studs as opposed to bolts. My friend used to drop the whole cradle just to re torque the studs.
