Yeah, adding a clean neutral may be a future upgrade. The trans currently doesn't have one.

Thanks Mike,

Don has made a quality product here, I have no worries turning up the boot with his RA-V heads. What are guys using for shock travel/velocity sensors?

A few more pics with the wheels.

The passenger side front fender is original GM, the drivers side is aftermarket.

Thought I would post a little eye candy for Ed. Just finished up his heads and getting ready to ship. I also just got back from the chrome platers a set of my cast aluminum valve covers and put them on for effect. One of the pic's has my RA5 intake that belongs to JC and he had polished for his build.

There a work of art Don, I enjoyed looking at the pics on my flight back from Sweden. Can't wait to get my mits on them, it shouldn't take long to get the top end swapped out and back on Lenny's dyno.
