The front one only needs to be cut if you want to keep the lsj lift point (common knowledge, I'm sure you know), but the one on the side hits the lsj tensioner pulley and needs to be shaved down a bit to clear
Yeah that's my next goal while I save for a timing chain set. Also going to ditch the balance shafts while I'm in there. May as well, right?

I sat in her for 20 mins for no reason. I think it's just love at this point, like she is my new office. ☺️

That's not bad at all. Port and polish the exhaust side?

Both intake and exhaust have been ported. I wanted to wait till the shaving was done to polish, in case there was a residue or something. My thread on "so you want L61 head data" has the exact specs of the port volume before and after I got my hands on it.

Update on the drop on SSC springs ordered from ZZP. A week ago I loaded my car with 5 people including me, two of them being (assumedly) pretty overweight. With them, I rubbed going over some bumps, and have since been much lower than my previous time being on these springs (about a 3 weeks.). Heres a few pictures I took outside my house today. More direct in sunlight pictures coming soon. That being said, ride quality went to **** since then, and one person I know with stock springs looks like he's driving a 4x4 now, since I've gotten used to the low.

So I've been throwing around the idea of using my LSJ manifold and an icebox when I swap heads. I can probably cast an adapter plate out of aluminum pretty quickly/cheaply to run it straight throttle body without the blower. Wondering if it could be a way to reduce IAT, and reduce it further with the icebox when I want to take it to a track.

I've done a lot within the past week but have been busy so here it all is:

-Put in a AEM cold air intake
-Had a Hahn Muffler from an LNF Exhuast system welded on (sounds beautiful)
-Tinted the third brake light (finally...)
-Gave it some real eyebrows instead of plastidip ones
-Washed, waxed and buffed the entire car with my new buffer
-Got a bead leak fixed on the passenger side rear tire
-Found out my reverse lights don't work anymore?
-Painted my calipers gold as well as fuse box cover
-After a month found my $50 pair of sunglasses under the seat
-And last but not least got amazing pictures taken by a friend of mine:

Mine did the same thing lol. Wasnt a huge drop at first but once i put 4 of my big buddies it in it dropped like a rock. My ride quality was still pretty good for being low tho. I had H&R springs that rode like complete **** before so maybe they just werent as bad as thsose lol. Car looks awesome tho.

There is a reverse switch on your transmission. If i remember right, throw the car in 4th, and look down at the transmission somewhere next to the fuse box and you should be able to see the switch. if not, there is a thread on here explaining it better
