As long as you follow the instructions and don't get to frustrated you should be good to go. Just torque everything down, set a time frame that you wont have to rush to meet the deadline, and just relax. Here in Miami its hot as **** so my engine temp. gets as high as about 228*-230*, and thats in heavy traffic. Oil pressure stabilizes in the itself around mid to high 30s. Idles pretty good, stumbles and dies a few times but otehr times it stumbles and picks itself right back up. Yeah that lifter was a son of a bitch, thank god he didn't fall. Thats why the dowel rods aren't perfect.

Well i just got back and the car runs great. Ryan @ Rev Extreme *Tampa* did the tuning. Hes a real cool guy was explaining things to me using HP Tuners where everything should be and what parameters he will be playing with. The shop was bad-***, i didn't want to leave. First dyno run was:
Max Horsepower-382.92
Max Torque-359.14
A/F-13.15@6300RPMs
The weather was 68.27 degrees *F with 21% Humidity
He ran it on the dyno 6 times playing with the timing and a/f. After the 5th dyno pull he gave it an hour cool down and on the final pass it came with:
Max Horsepower-386.64
Max Torque-367.01
A/F-13.47@6550RPMs
He set the idle at 950rpms, at times it seems like it wants to die but then the rpms jump right back up to 950. I have no complaints whatsoever. I knew i was going to lose a good amount of low end torque, but let me tell you when you take this baby up to 6500rpm you better sit back and hold on.
