The cover is from redline goods on here, I think they have a thread about their italian leather shift boots and stuff

I was able to get the car started today and check for leaks, etc... ran great. A little rough at first with the new HLA and dry head, but the ticking eventually went away and now she runs nice and smooth. I haven't driven the car yet, I just got a map for idle so I could do troubleshooting if necessary

Very clean, organized build. Great to see you using it out on the track as well, as designers intended

Thought this was you during my read-through, but now I see it's someone with a similar car. In that case, time to get your car on track!

Thanks guys

Yeah, 430whp right now, which I'm happy with for stock cams. I wanted to leave a few more "steps" in my build before I get bored with the power and decide to go with a built motor... So after I get bored with this power level, I can do 272 cams on 93 and then when that gets boring, switch to E85 dual map and hopefully have a really fun stock block vehicle
