Thank you guys for the compliments.

I think it should do 800-850whp on race gas, im considering Ethanol aswell. Still debating on tuner though.

Yes, I had to do it right. It all paid off upon startup, no issues or any leaks. I took the pan off to reseal it just to not deal with it later on since i had the engine out already although it was not leaking, same thing with
the rear main. The billet mounts are part of the weistec downpipe kit. As far as the amount of $ it takes to do a similar build it would probably be in 10k range if not more with labor being a chunk of it. I saved a lot by doing it all myself, just researching and gathering parts.

Yes it is pretty straight forward, nothing too complicated. Haha it was either gold plated or the hydrodip, so i decided to give it a try. The camera does not pickup how clear the print is on it, looks good for the price i paid.

Any update on the alpha9 install & tuning?

I saw another alpha 9 video, and it reminded me of this thread.

I finished it a while back, Just have not tuned it because I was contemplating on doing Meth injection directly to the back of the manifold which involves removing it, and doing a clean custom setup. Just recently a VP Station was setup nearby so now im leaning more towards race gas. I was in the process of moving and then with the holidays, delayed the whole tune stuff. The car rips pretty good, and the cabin noise is much more raw, turbo whistles all day.

I seen that video 4 days ago, idk what he was saying about the heat exchanger contracting and fender liner going bad? cringe
