I capped it. I believe it was for the valves in the exhaust which i don't have. Atleast thats what it looked like when i traced the line back.

Only cap it if you are not using a cat-back with the butterfly valves. To me, that is one of the coolest features on this car, wouldn't have it any other way.

Looks good.

well I figured it out today to where it went I just didn't see the hose. It is hooked up now as I have B&B fusion and like the valves.

Ok the car is all done. Everything is back together and as far as I can tell ready to fire. I cranked it over while holding down the gas pedal. It cranks over lol I haven't tried to start it though. So much anticipation right now very nerve racking.

If it turned over without any unusual noises, then start her up.

I would have started it yesterday but my son who has been helping me was now with me. We will be starting it up after work today. Still very nervous though 😂

Great thread and super nice build! I haven't ever done that much work on a motor before, but ive watched a mechanic do it and they all have the same feeling on first start up. I understand the feeling

I had a 19/19 gunmetal forgestar CF5 setup on my last car that got lots of compliments. Here's my Mamo build idle video, but my cam is a little smaller than yours so it doesn't hit quite as hard as yours.
