Thanks and yeah it's not the easiest thing in the world. Quick way is to just undo the vband clamps and drop the down pipes a little.

Pretty sure it would take me 10 just to do one.. But i wouldn't know because i cant seem to get more than 100 miles on this thing before i destroy something or change it. Tonight i will be making up some oil cooler lines and then it will be ready to fire up. It may be a little late before i get around to it so it will likely happen tomorrow. If i don't have any issues during my test drives I'm going to take it to the track Friday. Realistically speaking it will be next Friday. I'm really not in a rush at this point. Getting into a rush has yielded me nothing but headache.

You're making me nervous with all your car problems. I started working on a spare motor and the first one isn't even done yet.

Don't be nervous Ron every single problem I've had is self inflicted.. And I mean every single one. I'm learning as I go with this car so these things are to be expected.

As promised.. Unfortunately I never planned on doing this so I didn't spend a lot of time getting the gate placements perfect.. The gate tubes will look a little funky but whatever..

Speaking of self inflicted, hanging this on mine sure limited my options for turbo plumbing. I might have to talk to Bob at Brutespeed about a (heaven forbid) Procharger.

Non sense Ron.. Run it down the rail there should still be plenty of room. Take a 3" pipe and see what it looks like. SC is a Terrible idea.
