You can also use that port for an EGT probe if you like.

Yeah that's probably true, but there were plenty of other considerations that made this the best possible opportunity at present.

Manifold looks good

Bill
While i think that would be a good source of information, I probably won't monitor exhaust pressures unless I encounter some kind of problem with the setup. If I need to do it in the future I can have a bung welded at that point.

Kyle drilled and tapped the manifold for an EGT bung for me

Just been waiting for the rest of the parts to come in...Kyle is working on my crossover right now. Downpipe parts should be here tomorrow. Kyle ordered them on Friday March 7 and the place didn't ship them until Wed March 12

Here's a couple pics that I literally took about 3 minutes ago. I'm holding down the garage floor while Kyle is finishing up the crossover




I posted a thread about my ankle surgery that I just had last Friday (which is why I'm busy posting on the internet while Kyle works on my truck), and included a pic of my foot. trever1t thought my feet look like Hobbit feet, and apparently XLR8NSS thought it would be funny to change my username to Frodo, even though he doesn't know how to spell it right


I dunno, the first pic doesn't look like it to me, but I took another pic today at my followup appt and I guess the swollen one does look pretty Hobbitish....

Nah I hurt it wakeboarding back in April last year. It never healed up 100%, so I decided to have it fixed surgically. Should be back on my feet in a couple weeks.
