Will do but no story on IPS... they are just too busy for my car I guess. Prolly fate really... if they would have been on it I prolly wouldn't be getting the build that I am from EC

Car is beginning it's trip to EC tomorrow so I had some time this week to do another little cosmetic mod

Thanks! I am sorry that I wasn't paying attention enough, until I saw your whole engine pic by dropping down my jaw. Your set up is totally bold out from the old box. It's nice looking engine indeed.

The coating that was used the first time was crap & it is peeling plus it is more of a flat black & yes I want it to be closer to the gloss black that I did on the cover. Honestly I talked to OZ to find out what he used & I am going with the same thing now & I believe you two already discussed it in one of your builds.Originally Posted by amok55amg

If the truck isn't sitting in front of my house when I get home I will un-pack them & put my calipers on them for you.

I tried to find Kleemann super sport camshafts today & had little to no luck! Even Kleemann USA was out & said two to three weeks? I then put some feelers out & you will never guess who had a source... yup as always it was Shardul! I gave the info to Jerry... he brokered the deal & soon they will be part of my build
Thanks again Shardul & Jerry for all your help

Figured since I am doing cams now I prolly should look at ported heads... ported & polished heads officially added to the build today
