Yes it has but it's my fault because I left the car there before ordering the lengthy list of parts. They are comin in from everywhere and some were back ordered taking way longer than expected to arrive. I should have waited for Matt to receive every item before burdening him with storing a vehicle they can do nothing with. Luckily, as parts roll in they have plenty of time to install them as they work on many other projects at their facility. We have 3 other cars so I don't need it for commuting but I am still anxious to get her back for some much anticipated track time. I know it will be right and reliable so it's definitely worth the wait.

Sure! The latest addition was the BTR Trunion upgrade for the rocker arms. According to reviews, this is a "must do with any cam swap". Make sense to complete the valve train upgrade while they're in there replacing springs, locks, retainers and pushrods.

And a butt load of bearings pressed in to complete the rocker arm trunion upgrade.








Certainly can't hurt valve train stability.

I see that you are getting all the same mods done except the cam. I considered it to be cost effective to do the cam while they are in there. Adding one of the three available blower grind cams allows Matt to add boost and timing to unleash a ton more power.. But it does add dollars to the bottom line.

Did you discuss cam options with Matt?

No, didnt discuss that at all. Just stated my goal of 600whp. I agree better while their in there but unless its a steep military discount pockets are not deep enough lol. Would love to though. For now ill enjoy your build
