No times yet, I just finished up a new clutch install, Ill probably have a trip to the track sometime soon since its cooling down now. My clutch has been jacked up for over a month so I didnt run it.

Forgot to post my noise solution that everyone, including myself, thought was valve terrain. It ended up being pitson to cylinder wall clearence. So I had piston slap in all 8. JE pistons are tough they had .012 clearence when it should have been .06.

My valve train actually got quieter after my H/C swap. Preload came out right at .075" so the 7.4" pushrods ended up perfect for my 5.3 heads milled .005"
