I didn't get a Tomie exhaust like 99.95% of builds I went over budget lol and went with a cheap 3" exhaust just so I can fire the car up and won't be to loud (I hope). My buddy who has a shop and builds high end muscle cars gave me **** about that so I told him fine he has to fix it when the car is running and I have done a few events on it

I'd be very curious to hear what a V8 sounds like through a Tomei, although I would guess still really nice. Post some videos either way when you get it running.

Bought a new OMP steering wheel. We have it on our champ car and really liked it after 16 hours of racing in two days. I also decided to go the easy route and install an AEM CD-7 dash

Well I started to crank the engine to build oil pressure and I was not getting any. Started to do some research and realized I guess I was not being intelligent that day when I was assembling my engine. I forgot to install the front oil galley plug.
So ordered the part installing that today. I made a change to the thermostat housing my coworker saw it and said I don't like how it is at an angle and the coolant hose is touching fan cover. A day later this is what he made. Now the coolant hose shoots straight down so it gives me more room test fitted the part then we hard anodized it.
