I have been having problems with the car lightly smoking at start up, idle and in between shifts at wide open throttle. Finally got it narrowed down to intake gaskets with the help of a local car guy. After doing some checking it seems like it was probably my fault as I seemed to have overlooked the size of the porting on my new heads which caused poor sealing. I should have it back together in a few days and hopefully we've found the problem. Aside from smoking the car has been running flawlessly up to this point.

Some bad news is that because I need to get new mufflers/get the exhaust modified a bit I wont be putting on my crossram intake until a later date, since I've already waited this long I guess a bit longer wont hurt. BUT I couldn't help but test fit it, looks amazing and actually fits better than I expected. I will need to either cut the hood or get a fiberglass one for whenever I decide to change it over. I can just barely get the valve covers on with the intake/carb/alternator there, but it does fit!
