Before changing anything, I think I'd wait and see what the second charge of oil gives you for pressures... ;)

Got my interior back together, perhaps a few tweaks and my radio knobs I had just thought about (I have them). The passenger side mirror was a little stubborn to align the bottom bolt. Might drive it to the exhaust shop in the morning.Would be the first time on the road since it got torn apart.

I fully completed my exhaust system! It is stainless steel and has been stainless steel welded throughout except for the straight though mufflers (they do have some baffles inside - Does not seem like it though) and where they bolt up to the headers. It is a little loud and sounds like a stock car. It also has a great deal more power than I had expected. I could melt the tires if desired and I can feel the torque every time I accelerate. My wife is not crazy about how loud it is and I get an audience when people hear it. The attention can be good and bad. Hope the police don't get interested.

That'll get old quick. Throw some Borla's or Magnaflows on there.
