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. Luckily my dad is a machinist and he retapped the hole and it was better than new. Also had the passenger side header fall 6 feet to the ground and made the end of the header into an oval shape. 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...
