no my heads and cams are at Jun in Japan right now. They should be done Monday or Thursday, then sent overnight to me, the car will be done on Friday!

what do you want pix of lol. it looks like a wrx with no engine in it haha
So from the sounds of it this is the first time you've had a built engine. Luckily it's a legit expert like Kevin building it haha
Hopefully I won't have to welcome to the fraternity of guys who built engines and then went 2x overbudget when the build went wrong and had to be redone/something broke unexpectantly/it got tuned by a reputable top tuner then blew for some odd reason

What are the spec's on the cams? I met the owner of JUN a few weeks back when I was in LA he had some interesting info on their products (well what I made sense of anyway)

So why run them if you're going for lower compression? Because they certainly are not better flowing Matt.
If you're going for a monster it seems like 2.0 heads would be a bad choice. It's like having a 13" tv for a playstation3.
