Am trying to wait patiently (although I am sure GTM and Forged are tired of my constant calling

Now I'm hoping GTM can totally focus on my meagar build and get her shipped out. Of course only after it's been meticulously completed.

Still have a # of minor things that need to get added, but right now she is up and running.
Will provide more updates when time permits.

Thanks everyone, it has been a very long road indeed. 
Well, after a couple of hiccups (had to replace the coilpacks and run another step colder plugs for some reason). It looks like she is running pretty smooth. We will check it again tomorrow, but suffice it to say, in the wet with DR's it breaks loose at a moments notice.
Sharif has some video's on the dyno. I will try to get them early next week. The strange thing to me is that I swear I don't hear the open dumps anymore, but I can really hear the BOV's..
Not sure if the car will be ready for HIN Saturday, but will try my best.

Man BamBam everyday I call to check on my car at Forged they are like "Tring to get Brent car back together". Man hopefully when I go to pick up my car Monday yours is still there to see that thing move.
They have been pulling some long hours putting that thing back together. But congrats hope it is all you hope for.

Looking forward to seeing your beast, sometime soon. It appears that forged has been busy getting a bunch of you out for summer.
Congrats
