The first box I got form Begi in 2007 was filled with packing peanuts. It sucked so badly trying to go through it and make sure I did not miss any small random bags of parts.

Canyon, I've hit a delay on the engine build.
Trackspeed cannot get the engine shipped before early to mid april (from early March). As a result, I'm delayed 1-1.5months on my build.
I'll give you 2 weeks notice when I have it together. I'm trying to hurry it up as much as possible, but not having the engine here kind of slows down the whole build a lot.

I'm pretty excited, gotta admit. Not sure why this hasn't been done yet.
I was wondering on how we could go about extending the short runners on the vics manifold but not the long runners, perhaps some sort of spacer in a wedge shape? Of course than we have the issue of the tbody moving..

Will you be using an electronic actuator to operate the vics runner?
Maybe I'm missing something, but the vacuum operated actuator won't work so well under boost - which could/would explain why I didn't see **** on the dyno.
I'll have to go back and look at the vacuum routing again, once the engine is all back together.
In for results

Well, it WAS a masterpiece of art and engineering when it left here. Leave it to UPS to ****-block my bid to be the Official MT Rude Packaging Czar. This video was shot just before we added the pop-out Kitty that meows "Happy Birthday".
