The P/P I'd like to do eventually but it's not needed to get the car up and rolling I'm more focused on the short block now because the shop wants the block this saturday otherwise I'll be waiting till the end of the season.. I'm not too worried about having to pull the head again, because that mother f***ing 8th intake bolt will be gone!

Don't do that, it's what carries most of the weight of the manifold and the stress load from the belt drive on the supercharger. It's not that bad to put back in, just loosen the alternator and set it over out of the way, then use a 1/2" drive ratchet with a short socket to tighten the bolt.
All of that blower none sense should be nul and void after I get that big ol hair dryer in back.
Update on build progress--
JE forged pistons 8.9:1, eagle rods, 78# supertech springs, bought BlkWdoSS's turbo, intake and a few other parts the Borg S366XL made 438whp on a weak stock internal motor.
Can't make up my mind about an exhaust system I believe I have a 2.5" stainless now very tempted to get a 2.5" electric cut out or just a nice 3"
