      I will man!! I still have to figure out what exactly I'm going to do with the exhaust. I am currently waiting on the new lower intake . After I get that and I mail off my throttle bodies and EGR spacer to Scott for their adjustments, should be close to gettin done. I cant wait to drive this thing

            Nice townie! Good luck on the results - it will be interesting to see what the no-cam HO swap will net in power gains.

                There is a guy on here with an E7 lopo. I want to say Matthew but I won't swear to that. I think he had to fiddle with the fuel pressure to get it running right, but I don't remember if it ended up with 14 lb injectors and the pressure set high, or 19 lb injectors with the pressure set low.
