In actuality there is a considerable amount of visible needle and I love having the A/F in such a highly visible location. Looks completely flush, Scott did fantastic work!!! Could have put it right on the steering wheel but having a huge "INNOVATE" tatoo'd on my forehead wasn't an attractive proposition, hehe...Either way, thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated...

Your motor build looks very complete, and will make good power.
Good luck with the build!!

ya, i actually did the testing about a year ago. my torque wrench only reads to 180lbs, and i hit that and was able to put another nearly half turn past that point. it HAD to hit in the 220lbs+ range, the washer inbedded into the head, and started to strip the nut on the end of the stud. let sit for a 1/2 hour, let the torque off of it and was able to unscrew the stud out of the block with my fingers. basically, zero thread distortion in the block what so ever. i can only guess what the actual torque i had on it was, but i was standing on the block and using my legs in a squat position using my back and legs to get as much torque as possible, and i'm no weakling, lol! the 1/2" ones can be torqued to 122lbs tq as per arp's spec.

If that is what it takes to get you to come out with your car to a track with us. Laguna Seca would be perfect.
