I'm actually excited to hear the 3 inch exhaust and wg dumps. I saved the clip from your site and listen to it almost every day 
I'm surprised that no one else has posted a vid clip of it yet though.

Let me know when it on it's way. Thank You !
Installing the supports before taking the car to Dyno/Track makes good sense.

The thread and pitch are the same on VQ30 heads, any idea if the depth is the same? Ive been pumping 1.5bar lately and would hate to push a head up. I understand you dont want to share the length of the stud but if I measure the depth of my coolant passage from the wash seat to the support beam could you hook me up on a set?

i took a trip this weekend, about 300 miles. i abused the car pretty bad. when i got home i did lose a little water over the whole trip, but only about 1/2 an overflow tank. all in all, i could not of even made the trip before the mod even keeping entirely out of boost. so it seems to be doing it's job.

i forgot to mention, temps have been really high lately here, 102 on monday 90 yesterday and today (must be some freakish anonamoly) so that could comtribute to the water loss. will be going through and doing a larger rad, push fans, oil cooler and then thermal coatings on the pistons and chambers when i rebuild my motor soon. all that should make this thing not come close to overheating.
