Hopefully it will shed some light on the intricacy of building engine.

There is a reason why I got solid mounts, you'll find out soon enough. Hopefully this Monday. I'll take some pics for you guys.
But if you are talking about the the bushings, then it's a good "maintenance" upgrade, some of my front lower control arm ones are all gone. With 90k on the odometer and 7 years +, those things are wearing out real fast.

What's up with that test pipe/chamber? What does trap help with in this position?

They are the newer Motordyne Test Pipes. Here is a link of Tony describing them, with some delta dyno graphs.

Ok Gabe, I'm missing something here, why long headers and test pipes? You just planning some experimentation?

^All in the name of science and I won't sleep well at night knowing that I didn't do a thorough job in selecting parts.

Thanks, but you should really say that to SGM not me.

It's coated inside and out for heat purposes. It was done by fireball coating and a service SGM provides when you order the headers from them.

You can't imagine how excited I am to get the car running and get started on the testing. It's been a painful wait from practically every aspect.
