I also gotta do some porting/cleaning up to those welds on the header primaries lol but that is to be expected with one of your first kits ever. And I know your welds have gotten 3294862398672786 times better over the years and I make sure to tell everyone that who sees my kit haha. I'm more worried more about function over looks ;)


This build may also end up being a testament to Alvin @ pcmforless' skills in a mail order...

I'm getting a reflash through him... obviously I'm probably going to tweak it some here and there because lets be honest, you can only get so close (especially with a custom build like this) with a mail order.

Yeah, my welds have gotten 1000 times better. Are you keeping the parts wrapped like Dave had them?

Unfortunately only partly... I had my buddy take off the wrap on the two manifolds, but I left it on the crossover and downpipe.

When I received the kit it was completely wrapped like you mentioned... and I mocked it up in my room. Well I use to be a roofer and I have dealt with fiberglass before so I didn't think anything of it.

Well I got the wrap all over my forearms and lower stomach and, naturally, it started itching. I took a shower and it didn't seem to go away... I just figured I would have to deal with it for a couple days. A week went by and it was only getting worse and making it very uncomfortable to sleep or pay attention in classes. I finally went to an urgent care and for the first time in my life, I had an allergic reaction to something. They gave me a prescription cream and put me on steroids for a week. I got it on me again about 2 months ago but luckily I had some of the prescription cream left.

I am HIGHLY allergic to the stuff for some reason, which I find very odd because when I roofed, I literally carried fiberglass insulation every single day and it never lasted more than a couple days/showers. So I decided to take it off the manifolds because if I ever have to change the plugs, I would never be able to get around the wrap.

Just ordered some NGK TR6s

Also just ordered my two Walbro GSS340s (255lph)

Still need to order/do:
Fuel Lines/Fittings
Intercooler Piping
Sandblast/powdercoat intake manifold
Maybe a wastegate

Sounds to me like you need to start putting the car together. Those parts will be figured out and purchased quickly after you get started on the car.

Haha, I just wanted a reference on what they were straight from GM

I was disappointed recently to find out the Jason Cromer no longer has the best deal on opti sparks... Got beat by summit by about $60

On a GM unit, or an aftermarket piece? How much were the opti's from Jason Cromer, for reference purposes (work at an AutoZone, discourage anyone from purchasing a new opti in two pieces (housing and cap/rotor kit) and putting it together)???
