TR6 is fine, but like HCI2000SS mentioned the BR7EF is what is recommended when you add the 100-150 shot of spray to the car. I have run the BR7EF on both n/a and power adder applications with great results.

Found a used set of 99+ valve covers for the new heads and a spare timing cover. Decided to clean them up and do a nice rattle cam job with some vht wrinkle black. I think it looks good! Gonna paint water pump amd throttle body black as well. Probably just going with a simple satin black though

The wrinkle black looks good. Are you going to paint your LS6 intake to match?

That breather looks like a nice piece. And the shiny coil brackets with the wrinkle black valve covers looks badass. This is coming together quite nicely, keep it up.

How well does that breather fit in the valve cover? I have the Mighty Mouse -12AN fitting that goes in the fill cap location, its pretty loose and leaks oil.

Installed my original street twin after getting it back from them for a full rebuild. Just installed trans and tye driveshaft etc... Went to go for a test drive, but car went nowhere. It can only go in gear with clutch pedal depressed (obviously). But when i let go of pedal, it does nothing. Its as if the clutch is t engaging... Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
