What made ya go with the .525/.525 cam? Wut brand cam?

Got it for $100 bucks lol, and it seems as though turbo setups don't mind small cams.

Stock shift linkage needs to be shortened about 1"-1.5" and it should work fine

I has some questions.

Any pics on the intercooler mounting and pipe setup? Also for the tranny crossmember is that a custom made one? Ive seen other people just move the stock crossmember back and re-drill new holes which I was planning on doing.

I'll try to get some pics made tonight for the cold side, but the crossmember is stock, just moved back and new holes drilled in the frame.
