Default H/C install done!!!

After a year of waiting my install is complete. We started it up tonight and everything is good. It sounds mean as hell. Now all I have to do is get a tune for it. A big thanks to Brian and Janice. Check it out

TSP MS3 cam, ETP 215 heads with 62cc, Cometics .045 head gasket, & a FAST 90/90 set up.

wow awesome...

hey a few questions...what did those heads run you and did you order them directly through ETP?
Also, did you have to flycut with that set up? I am assuming so..

I believe he bought them through TSP, but I am not sure on the price. And flycutting was not required. We clayed it and it cleared just fine.

Rob, no problem. Even through all the frustrations it was still worth it. Hope to see some numbers in the near future.

i order them TSP and after sales tax and shipping it came out to be $2600. No I did not have to flycut the pistons. I had well over .150 on the intake valve. These heads have lots of clearance.
