looking good bud, only thing id lean away from is cometic head gaskets... i had cometics on my car and it always used water changed them to OEM LS2 MLS gaskets and havent had an issue since
Cometics are notorious for being touchy.. heads and block have to be perfect and even then they don't work sometimes. The reckon Felpros are idiot proof.
yeah i know they can be abit of a pain but thats what my engine builder/mate wants to use as he uses them is his own ls2 turbo engine and has run 20+psi and work fine so i guess we will see how they go, thinking of buying direct port nitros for the fun of it also as the dollar is so good to us atm lol.....
