Yeah I hear that one. I'm in georgia where the emissions is all but non-existant. So I could run pretty much anything I want and not get hassled. I like your idea the best tho. Good luck with the rest of the build can't wait to see the numbers.

I had a CHP motorcycle cop behind me in line getting on the freeway two days ago and I didn't even get a second look from him.
I noticed some oil seepage near mine too. LMK what you find out. I can't figure out if it's coming from the TCT or the oil pressure area...

Sleeper is the best IMO. Especially here in California where I live. 
That is one nice job on that exhaust. Glad to see your car about finished.

Ill say a prayer for you with that head gasket. When it blows, go back to stock and NEW head bolts. Anytime you have to "re torque" a head gasket, its junk IMO.
Ive dealt with alot of crazy sealing techniques when it comes to engines. And while i agree with you, i have seen some people running copper head gaskets with success, the behind the scenes truth is about 80% of them fail in very short time periods.
They work OK with iron block and aly head, but with entire aly engine they seem to dislike the growing of everything all the time...

Yes we shall see what happens, and I'm hoping she holds together.
I've had it on now for 4500 miles and 500 of them boosted now.
