Ok so I finally got everything done. Pulled the heads and got them pressure tested and surfaced. Found a broken valve spring for who knows why. Put the heads back on and torqued them correctly. Everything seems to be in good order now. I have only put about 10 miles on it because the roads are snowy. Went into boost a couple times and didn't have any weird noises or coolant blowing. Cant wait til it gets warmer out.

Both videos suck.. I need to get a go pro.. That 0-60 was at about 80-90% throttle. I am still having problems getting the truck dialed in.
