Smile Check out the sig/ critique my set-up

Hello all, I put my current project in my sig. If you guys can read through all that and make suggestions/critiques about the set-up that would be great. I will do a full write-up when its all broken-in, dynoed and done as well as make a web page, but that is still a ways off. Expose the weak links in my set-up so I can buy more stuff! Ian. PS- don't worry, all that crap won't be in all of my posts.

Nope, its far from done. I have spent a fraction of the cost of a new economy car and will have more performance than many a sportscar/supercar. Parts are here or on their way; the only work I have done so far is pull engine, clean and strip engine bay, port/polish manifolds, modify IC and spend alot of $$ and time planning out/buying the other pieces.
I just wanted all your guys inputs before it was done in case I need to change stuff around!
