Heads swap complete....
Well,
After several evenings of some hard work I finally finished installing my MTI 2E heads this evening (as well as a new oil pump and LS2 timing chain). She seems to be running fairly well as the moment. Going down to Houston on Wednesday to get the guys at MTI to dyno tune if for me. Man, I can wait to get on it after that.
I did forget to install the coolant plug in the passenger head which caused some anxiety there for a moment when I saw a ton of coolant hitting the garage floor.
I'll post my dyno charts when I get back from MTI.

I just did the same install last week... but I went with their G1 cam and the ASP pulley. How do you like that LS2 timing chain!!! BEEFY.
I did worse, I broke my water tempature sensor off in my new head and had to easy-out it. Luckily it came out no problems...
I will posting dyno graph next week...

Good job! Yeah be careful now since you might be running more on the lean side without a re-tune. Also, you may want to consider upgrading to 30# injectors since youll be maxing out your stock ones to keep up with the extra air flow.
