Dude, Im not some hardass...but I have a lot of odd areas....both sides of my head, under my eye, throat, hands...and the WORST ones I've had have been on my knuckles. I went through it for the second time last night and about passed out.

Do you have either inner bicep done? To me it wasn't that terrible.

No….my lower wrists hurt like a mother…..i did my bicep last session.

There was a guy full body tattoo, neck, skull, everything getting upper leg that was like “this is the worst pain ever” lol

That's solid ass work man, you gotta grit your teeth and finish it!

Ya the lower wrist aren't fun either lol. The dude thought upper leg was the worst? I didn't much feel that one. It is funny, there are some common areas that tend to be more painful but some people just have uncommonly sensitive spots. I think a big thing too is how heavy handed your artist is. It can make a world of difference in a lot of spots.

Had a few long work days but need to do less talking and more working. Will be cancelling plans this weekend to get some work done. I have enough to get working on the rear of the car, get the physical aspects of the line lock kit in, get the billet knuckles on, etc. SHOULD be pulling the engine as well.

Ordered a few new parts....front drag brakes, MHS Xtreme turbo cams, GT350 TB, alongside all necessities for VVT delete and some billet chain guide arms.

I'm very torn on which way I want to go Intake manifold wise. There's really three I know of....G1 Pro, MMR, and Frankenstein. I was not considering Frankenstein due to the cost ($6800 vs $4000 for MMR's billet) but when the devil's telling me to throw caution aside, it's crossed my mind. I'm going to call and talk to the guy's here soon but if I go that way, I'd like to see if they'll let me fly in and pick it up. It is a work of art....

Supposedly the Frankenstein intake is undergoing a revamp. Could be finished already. Let us know what they say.

Really? Do you know what changes they plan on making? I sent them a message asking if runner length was shortened to any degree to make up for hood clearance.

Lol! My main source of income at this point can vary on a day to day basis. Good with this is I pay myself daily, bad news is I can actually LOSE money with what I do. My work time can also vary from 2h to 14h a day. I pay taxes twice a year, so at some point I'm going to have to account for that come October, because it's about 40% of my income.

Right now my income is staying ahead of my expenses but there could come a time where I have to pause for a bit to catch back up if I take a loss.

Other news, I cancelled the Manley valves and went with Ferrea competition plus after talking to Frankenstein and MHS. I'm just afraid the Manley's wont be able to handle the heat with the power I'm shooting for now. Random question in this: do you really need bronze valve guides? I've heard differing opinions...some say the coating on stems now and days are fine with stock powdered metal guides.

Also ordered a set of Boostline rods thanks to a tip from @illtal. I'll sell the other I beams when they get here. I'm worried about the .210 wrist pins but was told they'd be ok.

Good move on the Ferrea's, thats why i run them as well. What I-beams will you be selling? I might be interested.

I was surprised as MHS said the race masters might survive for a while as the coyote head was very forgiving, but definitely don't want to chance one small weak link.

They're the Manley 4340 I beams with 2000 rod bolts...standard size so rated to 1500hp. I figured I'd sell them a bit under the lowest price I see out there+cutting the lead time down a lot. If you want em feel free to let me know man!
