Nice. How much do you expect to gain from those cams and headwork then? Maybe 25-30whp? I'm excited about this thing man, it's a shame it seems any X's that make decent power need a built motor though. :(

There are a lot of higher powered X's still on stock blocks with t3 kits...its the guys like us that try for big power on stock frame turbo's that have problems. Lag and less torque seem to be they key to a high powered X.

rotella triple protection, maybe a 5w40 if I can find it. Then at 1500 miles I'll change to a synthetic and get tuned.
The Rotella 5w40 is synthetic only. 15w40 and 10w30 are their conventional offerings. I happen to know where you can find them.

Tonight I got the car back on the road. It sounded like a diesel for about the first four miles. I did some 2nd and 3rd gear vacuum pulls to seat the rings immediately. Parked it, troubleshooted the maf sensor some more, and murlo came over with his MAF. Swapped it in, and it did the *exact* same thing. So not sure what the deal is, BOO!

BUT, the car idles, revs, and drives about 90% fine with the maf unplugged! Its pretty amazing really, there is a slight hesitation around 2500rpm but nothing aweful, I'm sure the map scaling tables need some tweaking.

We drove all over, put another 11 miles on it. Drove to roseys, some freeway time, and side streets, plenty of vacuum pulls the whole way. When we got back to my place, I kept thinking, 'man, it SOUNDS so much better! I thought it was a big exhaust leak but it is breaking in I guess as the engine sounds perfect now.

Anna and I are off to SuperTarget to stock up before the storm :)

Thanks for the help Murlo!
