I'd suggest you just start a new thread for any new technical topics, and maybe start a thread on the member projects board, and link this thread to it for background - Jay

is it done ? 

Done.. no. But it is moving in the right direction. Spent the last 2 days trying to get the driver side valve cover from seeping oil at the back of the head. Finally got fed up and put a bead of "right stuff" across both sides of the gasket and it seems to have fixed it. Off to the muffler shop today for 2.5"+Magnaflows to the rear bumper. After he finishes it's off to the trans shop for a c6 tune and mild shift kit. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll be able to post up a new video. Drove it around the block once yesterday, first time it's been outta the driveway in 2+ months. Everything seems fine but I had to keep it in check as some of my neighbors we're givin me the stink eye for the idle by with open headers.  I still need to decide on a final height for that drop down bracket on the PS cylinder. I also ordered a thermal wrap for the starter and the trans cooler lines where they pass about 2" from the header. They would prolly be fine.. but the $40 investment is worth the piece of mind. I'll probably end up putting a thermal skin on the PS cylinder as well.
