    Well back in November at the track I blew both front and rear head gasket. Mainly due to engine not breathing enough. Took heads off and tested them. Heads were bad. That is when the winter projects and upgrades began.

    UPGRADES:
    New port and polished heads with angle valve jobs by Chris Hinson
    150 PAC springs
    ZZP 3/8 pushrods
    Bosch 95lb injectors
    ZZP rear Plog
    Replocated Wastegate with open dump
    Soon a GFB G-Force electronic boost controller
    relocated PCM
    Don Rome billet engraved diagonal braces
    installed roof rails
    Soon to install SD lip.
































    First start up after all together and head were retorqued. Had to give it a little rev then it settled. Took it down the block after and all seems good.

    Here's a quick video. I eased into it since I didn't want to spin the tires. Plus also still a good amount of cars on the road. Wanted to be safe.
    Running a little lean so I will need some adjusting till I get it dyno tuned again in July.
