Well got my tubular front end and coilovers installed today

Damn man, you got this thing swapped in no time. What did you do about the tune, and did you use all the wiring from the 2v for the new engine?

very loud? from the video it sounds more like "make your ears bleed" loud

You have no idea..........I had a similar setup on my car and its completely obnoxious. By far the loudest setup ive ever heard.

Right now I got just a cobra strategy tune from SCT on it but it will run fine on the 2 valve computer I only put the tune on it because I don't have EGR anymore and it would have ran like crap without it so I but the base cobra tune on and shut it off. I used the 4 valve wiring harness because I got the whole engine complete but I could have used it 2 valve harness all you have to do is extend a few wires. yes it is obnoxiously loud I don't know if I'm going to keep it yet we'll see

Depends on what you can get the 4v for. like me I got the 4v with long tubes and mid pipe for 400 bucks I couldn't build a 2v that cheap
