FasterIsBetter - I'm stoked!! Just like what 40rty stated - 2012 looks like a good year for you, me and everybody else!!
I had a customer 3 weeks ago, who had the Mobile1 oil filter and the "nipple" broke off, he was lucky too, I found the nipple in oil filter "cup".. We stopped ordering them, we now use either AC/Delco or K&N..

Yeap, engine should be broke in by the time I get there since I'll have a few weeks to drive it and the trip is like 800 miles one way. I was hoping to have my off-road vehicle sold so I can grab a stage 2 trans while I'm up there as well. Wouldn't mind getting a dyno tune while I'm up there or just plain learning more about tuning on the LNF. I'm pretty good with tuning LSx based engines but when tuning for F/I I'm a lil lost.

Just need to unbolt the downpipe, hook up the hoist, and unbolt the mounts. Then I can drop it some, take loose the heater core hoses a bit easier, then drop the engine completely out.

Question, where did you get the nipple for the coolant reservoir at on top of the main coolant line? It looks nothing like the stock one as it doesn't have the extra feed on top for the coolant. Did that come with your ZZP turbo kit because I never got one of those? Or did you just use a Banjo bolt from on the turbo water lines and spin the nipple around for the feed to the coolant reservoir?

Sorry just wanted to add that what you see in the pic is my timing being off by a tooth, as I later came to find out. The motor ran great but we were still off a hair. I've re timed the car since with the method others here suggested.
