I'm more of a Garrett person when it comes to using intercoolers, though they do cost a bit more than the Vibrant series, but they come as a second place. The mishimotos are not a bad bang for the buck considering their make up, but one must really use their larger ones just to get over the 450whp "hump", so I would reserve that as a 3rd choice.

Nice setup, I am running the 6000 series valves myself. Great choice on the wide band BTW, I run the same setup with my S300. With closed loop enabled.

You know what you're right. I don't know if its the light or is the surface finish really like that ? You want close to a mirror like finish if possible...

Thanks Rich.
Had hot tank, valve guides installed, performance valve job, backcut valves, combustion chambers cleaned up.

Nice i have one to
See what he says about the head The flash on your cam could be making it look a lot worse . Does it look the same with your eyes (actually looking at the head in front of you )?
Edit, Actually forget that, of course it will.
