Kind of in a hold, waiting on a part to get done at the machine shop. I did get the fitting for the oil pump return and redid the return line from the 5541.

looking good!!

when you ordered your cam... did you talk about rockers and push tubes at all..?? I know some guys are having issues with higher boost pressures and stock parts.

I am running socal push rods and rocker bridges in it. I wanted to get roller rockers but they are expensive and have other things I'd like to do with 2500.

Awesome build. Your engine build is exactly what I want to do it mine. What did you have the machine shop do? You're basically doing all the assembly on your own? Mind me asking what the machine shop charged you?

I don't recall what they charged me for machine work, as you know they all charge different. My cam was on back order for a whole before it came in, not much you can do abt hurry up and wait... I could not go with the 9100 due to getting shallow pocketed out in my pistons. At the time getting the pistons I planned on running a 6460.
