Looks good, how long did it take you. I will be doing mine hopefully in 2 weeks when my parts arrive. Did you do all the work in the engine bay. I was thinking about dropping the motor forom the bottom since I will be changing my TC also.

Everything was done from the engine bay! If you drop the engine you will have to evacuate the AC and cooling systems.

Congrats! Enjoy the new power. Your torque curve is as flat as the golf greens at my course! Pretty impressive. I like the red coated headers, they're different.
Just one ? Why did you choose the Dart 225's over the 205's? I used to run a Corsa muffler on my setup until the baffles inside broke. The sound brings back memories.

Negative. You can drop/pull the motor without blowing the AC down by the way. I've done it plenty of times.

Good numbers, also you have all the hard work done now. You could have another 60rwhp with a simple cam change and intake change. I know there's been box stock 205s hit 470rwhp with a fast intake and a big FMS cam.

Yup your right about the cam and intake. This is my daily driver not a race car. I don't need any more hp than this has. It's perfectly mannered, idles at 800rpm and will pull through 6500 rpm with no difficulty. My goal was to have a nasty DD not a race car. There will always be more hp available, the question is can I use it not do I want it.
