Default COMPLETION!

Got my Upper/Lower intake in MyInjectors, TB and EGR and MAF
all in and running fine
just gotta change the oil tomorrow and reset the timing and im A-OK!
as for the timing should i keep it at 10 to the right of the zero?
or should I move it to 14 like some people suggest

Start at ten and if you want to put it up another degree or two at a time and see how it runs.

Set the timing, changed the oil and took it for a spin.
Went around the block not really pushin it too hard just yet.
and then pulled back into the driveway

popped the hood and theres coolant all in front of the lower manifold.
i think it MAY be leaking from where the water pump meets the thermostat but im not positive...
how can i figure this one out?
