Welcome!

Wow, very nice project there.

Just a few things to add..

While doing a project like this, check out Fox Lake Racing and check into their ported heads, I know it can be costly, but that's the main purpose of a project. You can port out the intake also, if not already done.

Also, did you use the stock exhaust manifolds off the headers ? I would make custom headers for more flow, and exit them through 2 pipes so you can maintain that exhaust set up. Although, you might have kept the stock exhaust manifolds for some backpressure. Just a few ideas.

Other than that, you have a very nice project car there. If I may ask, what trans are you going to use ?

my coupe will be for the street and it will have a 96 mark8 w/auto trans,air/heat,power steering,power brakes
the ex.headers are 93 mark8 w/mods [not much room on drivers side]
its just going to be a fun street car
