Lol but the internals are what make the beast not the paint. If that were true flames and stick on chrome would add sooo much power

Might try to install the engine today. Making sure everything is leak free and good to go. I changed compression, so gonna see how that goes.

Are those the custom cams or just PI cams? And are you running NA just to break in with the stock tune?

Regular PI cams. Lol no one had a custom ground twin/ supercharged cam. Jim at JDM said his turbo cams were similar to the factory ones. However his is built more for mid to top in due to all the lightning guys. So he said I will get just as good performance out of my factory cams at 2200-4k

I'm not sure yet, if I can get the old injectors cleaned I may run NA for break in and the stock tune. I just don't wanna install the 88# injectors and run NA
