Yeah it is tight, hard to see with the shots i took. But there is adequate clearances. Th ABS module is loose right now thats why it looks so close. But you can see what i did with the plug wires (#3 is not touching the header). I have yet to put heat tape on the side of the PS pump/hoses and brake lines (which are not touching the header), that will follow soon.

How would the wires be if your coils were relocated? Don't take this the wrong way but the wire ties is pretty ghetto. I don't like the ideas of dropping big money on this kit that looks great only to rig up the plug wires.

I'm sure if you could move the coils to fit with the wires not hitting it can be done... most people don't wanna go through that hassle... Looking good though ( that ps deff. needs to be wrapped though) good luck

Yeah i contemplated the idea of a coil pack relocation kit... But again the way the headers are made you still need something to hold the boots and wires away from them. Its only on the driver side is where they need ties... Just got the rest of the parts about 20 min ago, ill post those pics tommorrow.

I got the T4 setup with the GT76 plain bearing. This is just a stock headed, cam only, built bottom end (stock crank) 347... Should dole out enough stones to be pretty damn quick with this setup, it was mental with a 200 shot direct port fogger last year hahah

since you got stainless the coating is not as important as if would with mild steel. I think you make the right move in no coating.
