well it was an interesting one got the car all ready running driveing car Had loads of power was kinda retarted
and then the knocking began and got worse and worse and worse so this is how i spent my sunday/fathers day

Congrats on the split port swap. Are you piecing together the swap yourself or through RPM, SuperSix or who?

i am awaiting on a 45* bend from the TB to the IC piping for the blower until that comes in and we figure out the piping issues i will be running the stock split port upper
ive got a dyno run the 7th of july but i wana put some milage on it befor hand with the stock intake
also for the most part i am doing it by my self my GF helped when i pulled the motor and when i was puttin the new block back together
but for the most parts its all me
i work on average 45HR a week and well in one week and 2days i have the old engine out the engine bay/trans and drive shaft tunnel and floor painted
new motor put together and in the car
