no exhaust today/drove her instead
they couldn't get'r done in the 2.5 hours of my free time today so it'll get done tomorrow A.M.
that gave me the chance to put some miles on her. broke the 100 mile mark so came home and changed the oil/filter. took her back out for a few harder romps hitting the big lobes @5500/6000. WET ROADS SUCK! nuff said.
expect to do ~ 500 miles on this oil, drain, a sample to Blackstone, refill with Redline and hit the dyno early to mid April. maybe sooner.

thanks guys.

so far, so good. the vibrant resonators reduced the in-cabin noise quite a bit. the volume level is sort of back to what it was like with the N1's small lobes. still loud, but not uncomfortably so. the low frequency rumbling exhaust note is cool. and NO raspy (magnaflow) b.s. when hitting VVL. a little more romping today after the install. the more i drive it, the more i really like the feel of these kelfords. very difficult to keep my foot out of it now and of course the mpg's suck. noticeably better acceleration in any gear at any speed.
i may be looking for a different FD for this b15 tranny, or maybe a different tranny altogether. 1st gear is about useless and it feels like i should up-shift from 5th. hmm, the p10 4.058 fd looks promising. 3k rpms @ 70mph
the dyno anticipation is killing me.

SE-R gearstack (1-4) for the equal gearing and use that P10 final and 5th!
