Default QTPs Installed
Took about 7 hours by myself (well, for the most part). Ran into a couple snags that cost time. Ran a header bolt in and cross threaded the hell out of a cylinder head.

Hammered this out and made it round again. Finally after all the problems the headers and ORY are in. I love it. Much better throttle response and it feels quite a bit quicker. And the sound is great. Now, about that cam...
