Not to hijack or go off topic, but after seeing all the issues you have been having and others guys build the "perfect combo" to only have it torn down a short while after, I am glad I have decided to keep my engine mostly stock and just enjoy driving my car. It seems like the more I mod, the more I want to mod and the less I enjoy my car. I hope all work out for ya, sorry I couldn't help
