I used my SCT programer and loaded the baseline tune that Brian setup and damn it runs good now I am hoping to get an in car video soon maybe by the end of the week. I can't wait to get the x-pipe and cams installed

You won't be disappointed. But, if the SOHC is that tight would a DOHC even fit?

The DOHC will fit, but I haven't looked into what it takes to make it fit. I know everybody recommends the DOHC, generally saying the SOHC is a waste of time and will make less power than a 4.6 built with the same parts. I try to ignore those people. The DOHC is definitely the way to go, but it's also about twice as expensive.

It's used for my uncle's oil business right now, but he's taking it over for personal use and building a new one for the business. It'll be just as big, but it won't have all the goodies this one has, like a lift, engine hoist, welder, etc. I sure hope he let's me continue to use the old one on occasion...

Well last night the coolant light came on .... checked it and it needed just a little. Its completely amazing that there are no leaks at all.

Its running awesome! Almost no traction in 1st or 2nd.... and i was only mildly getting on it
