No real questions here but damn, that's a nice L!

I can't help but to notice or misread, no traction bars of any kind?

Just curious, are you chipped? Flash Tuner?

ARP rod bolts and ARP head studs (not bolts) were used.

I've only hear blah blah blah but no substantial evidence that .030 over is not good for street duty.

I know of a L running 26 lbs boost with head studs torqued at 80 lbs. He's been running at that boost for over 2 years and no problems.

Tim Griffith from Wichita built my motor and he's built many Cobra motors. Great reputation.

There's no piston slap.
