First impressions of new engine...............

I just ran my new engine with the setup below and I am very impressed. I really love that lopy idle of the cam. I still have some EPROM tuning to do for some minor driveability issues, however. I haven't hit the throttle in anger yet since I am still breaking it in, but it feels very strong. More to come....
