There will be dyno vids and maybe some street pulls

I opened all my skunk2 parts today, the only complaint I have is that the cam keys dont fit into the cam gears that well(keys were too big) I had to work the key into the cam gear for about 20 minutes on each one before I felt comforatable enough to bolt the gears to the camshafts

I've seen one set of cam gears break where the key way was because someone forced the keys in by tightening the bolt on the camshaft thats why I was so paranoid

I'm using 370s

Eh, the whole ITB setup is a touchy situation, dont forget this is my daily driver and I know that alot of people run into idling issues which I'm most likely gonna run into with the Pro1's anyway but I just dont think they'd be good for daily driving and for the money I dont think they're worth it for the power they make. Now if I ever buy a second car and have alot of money lying around then sure why not.

Well, I have another opportunity next week to get this motor in because it's a 4 day weekend, but I was relying on my parts selling fast and it's just not happening.
I still need the golden eagle kit $250
arp headstuds $100
ecu $175
top end gasket kit $120
valve guides ???
machine work on the head ???
timing belt $60
bearings $130

I need all those before next weekend... this is frusturating, I really wanted it done before the honda meet
