Hi guys
This is my first engine build/swap, only done cam swaps and stuff before. It took the better part of 6 months to build and did most of my research on here... For tuning I used HP Tuners, SD OL.
Let me know what you guys think and if you have any questions
Thanks

Check out my video. Motor ran strong for (edit: 5 for points and 1 for fun) 6 totalTime Attack races.
