Yup yup! Not really worried what it makes to be honest, I know next spring it'll be in the 8xx hp range but right now trying out all these different combo's and seeing how they react is interesting!!

So assuming a normal stock compression 6L with all the bell's and whistles would make 400rwhp - 10% cuz of the low compression I'm looking at maybe 360rwhp...could be close! I'm still shooting for under 360rwhp though!

That could be very likely, considering I can't even be trusted to put a brake pad on the right way who knows what else I fucked up!!
The intake faces the firewall right?
