I can barely describe with words how excited I am to try this. This project is entirely in the planning stage for me and awaiting financial contributions from a few paychecks. My 617 is in a great state of health thanks to some '*****in Monark injectors from Sean C. Watts, a recent valve adjustment made possible by a set of fine wrenches crafted by Doc in Tucson, various parts from Lord Phil, a full EGR delete with some plates I machined myself (one of which I made from a 1960's german coin), and various other small things.
my power is bountiful, so I can't wait for this diff swap.
