I thought all main caps have the mounting holes for mbsp already in them, regardless of if it was fitted or not?

I don't want to do r&d on main caps. The cost of failure is too high lol.

I've got a few people asking for manifolds. So no guarantees on time frame

I think I'm gonna have Lars make me a MKturbo setup to run on the stock block for a bit. I'm gonna save the baller manifold for a built bottom end.
