I thought the engine was done already. so, forgive me for bringing up all the hype in your main thread, but are you planning on pinning the mains after all the input?

Quit thinking about non-sense, get the car finished, have INTMD8 put the Kill tune in it. Couple years later take it out to freshen it up, consider it then.

I'd put money into Titanium retainers over the Chrom-moly ones you have
