Pretty much done. Just need to take care of some minor cleanup like the maf wiring and getting rid of the blue fittings on my catch can.

Now I just need to get my tuner to install a startup/base tune so I can get it to the shop to get dyno tuned. Results coming soon!

I'm really digging the fuel rail setup and all the color matching you have going on between the intake and lid, and fuel rails and catch can. Very very nice my friend!

Excellant build thread !!! Not only top notch parts selection but the attention
to detail and custom/personalization of said parts is outstanding. Your
efforts will most certainly be rewarded !!!!!!!

What did you use to clean off the old head gasket by the way. The deck looked perfect!

I used a plastic scraper to get the big stuff off and then WD40 and scotch brite to get it nice and clean. Worked like a charm.

It took a few min. to start wrinkling. I just kept going over it until I got the desired effect.

Sounds great! I love CME. How is your valvetrain noise? I also have an EPS 226/230 and mines a little louder than I'd hoped.

It's actually a lot quieter than my previous setup with a tsp 224r.

Do you still have the dual dual on there or is that another cat back? It sounds awesome. Definately looking forward to numbers.

Car looks and sounds GREAT! In for some numbers!

My EPS cam will be here next week, and its spec'd pretty close to yours. It seems to only lope a little more than the 224/228 i have in my car (Also AFR 205s) Whats your idle set at?
