I can host a video for you man. Glad to hear everything went okay. What is your oil pressure at idle. Should be about 60-65, at least that's where it was at when I had it in mine.

I would but the digicam I had broke, so I picked one up from wal-mart for cheap to take pics of the engine assy and stuff in order to sell it then took it back to wal-mart after I finished using it for what I needed and traded it in on an x-box lol. So I don't have a cam at this moment...hmmm but I do have a laptop and a webcam I can use to take a vid and some crappy pics...Maybe I'll do that tommorow.

The motor made 400 by itself I'm pretty sure running 8.8:1 compression... correct me if I'm wrong SLY. I drove it to work today, it's sitting far away from all the other cars here at the credit union 
the solid motor mounts really don't feel rough at all... gives the car the little wobble a cam car needs to feel. Overall I'm very happy with everything so far, I hope I can keep it that way.

Based on my previous setup NA on the 5.7 and going to larger cubic inches but lower compression and a tad different cam profile I would guess in the range of 390-410 on an M6 car all motor due to the fact of the lower compression. This is just a guess tho. How does it feel NA so far?

I drove the car a little today to work... got the feel of it. It sounds awesome... I finally got on it towards the end of the night... "I couldn't help myself" the car runs like a scalded dog. First was useless... second was useless... third was scary, and barked the **** out of fourth. Keep in mind... this motor is running 8:1 compression. It felt like a 150shot on a stock motor when I got on it... The turbo kit was patiently waiting in the hatch the whole time 
it tries to die on idle... we did a crank relearn and that helped a little bit. It's just a matter of getting it tuned. I got like 150 miles to the tank

Ya man you will need tuning with that cam, mine didn't idle without tuning, but then again I had an A4. Glad to hear it's doing good hehe, told you that thing has some serious ***** NA running that low of compression. A lot more than I would have expected. Just wait until the turbo is on there then all 6 gears will be useless. Oh and don't be afraid to turn the boost up, it will hand whatever you can throw at it 15psi, 20psi etc. lol
