I couldn't live with my car in the shop that long. **** that. I did it once already.

I'm not sure about when I'll be done. Depends on my days off. The week of Memorial Day I get an extra day off so I'm sure I'll be working on it then. I also want to have it shaved as much as safely possible to reduce the combustion chamber size and increase my compression just a bit.

I really think closer to sea level my 200whp NA goal is obtainable once this head is done.

They're pretty much the same but I'm probably going to dyno in OKC if I can manage it. Elevation there is about 400ft vs our 4000ft lol

Can you link to the one you got? If there's one thing I hate about my Cobalt, it's not having a damn armrest.

Not hard at all. Hardest part was getting my lower cp back on after i had my intake manifold off. The sending unit for the oil pressure is really small for these gauges so i had no problem with that. Daisy chain the gauges together for power/ground what not and run wires for sending unit. Pretty Simple

GM part number 15800140. Only symptom is little play in the steering wheel, the shaft has two u-joints in it, it's usually the lower one that goes as it's exposed to the elements, you can actually see/feel the play in the joint.
