I took pictures every step of the way.....wouldn't know which ones to post but if you would like to see something in particular I can post it up!

My original goal was 450 rwhp but I am hopeful to break that - maybe by 10-15 rwhp? Anyway, as long as I hit 450 rwhp I will be satisfied!

Looks great...flycut 0.100" on the intake, did it really need that much? Just curious what your PTV was before cutting.

I went a little more than needed while I was doing it. We measured only 0.040" on intake with using my old GM MLS gasket. After flycutting there was plenty of clearance. In the end, I was also able to use 0.40" Cometics to gain some of the lost compression back. I didn't mention it in my original post (edited now) but TFS 215's were milled to 60cc!

That is the way Fast manifold comes to accomodate stock fuel rail crossover - not just 98's. Wish they would have offered that as an option or I could have filled it in!

Well it started up with no leaks and good oil pressure! Whew!
Threw a few codes after startup but they were just software issues with the tune. Now no codes but we need to get tune worked out a bit - has a little bucking under 2000 rpm and idle likes to hang around 1500 rpm sometimes. Nothing major - will work on them this weekend with a friend and see what we can accomplish!

Here is the startup video:

I reused an old tape so forgive the shower at the end!
