    Cam's in now.

    Fired up no problems, had to wind the idle stop up a heap to get it to idle.

    Still idles happily around the 900 RPM mark but it is quite lumpy.

    ENgine seems louder when revving but deeper too.

    Throttle response is good, won't really be able to drive it until Sandown, I'll have to take my tuning tools.

    I collected the gearbox today, might get that back in tomorrow.

    Wavetrac box back in now.

    Replaced the alternator too, the bearings were getting a little noisy.

    Yeah, I've got a gearbox swap down to 2 hours now....practice makes perfect!

    My spare box was in the car for about 2 weeks and only propelled the car from one side of my drive way to the other!
