So I didn't have to worry about the timing chain hanging there and it's all timed when my new cams do come in. It took all of an extra 10 min to put them in.

Doesn't hurt to try. It's the least they can do for me having to pay $40 to ship the cams back to them.

Lol well you had to start from scratch after your mini build and you're haulin ass on it!

Exhaust hooked up, all electrical also and clutch is bled. Just waiting on my cams and ATI damper from ZZP which should hopefully be here sooner than later and the dipstick tube I broke should be here Wednesday. I'd like to throw the intake manifold and TVS on but no way I could fish that dipstick tube in after that haha.

That's pretty sick. What type of finish does your TVS have?

Hey man, just a heads up, my OTTP longtube had the little piping section break where it connects to the collector. It's a clean break all the way around so you might want to have a look at yours just to see if its cracking. Mines even on for about 1.5 years

I just installed it back in a few days ago. All is well. After 2 years running it the only problem I've had is the cat came apart inside. So I bashed it out and went catless.

Lol nice. I'm thinking I need a couple shorter hangers. My 3 inch Hahn piping might be causing my issue
