Cool!, I am glad she is coming along and I hope the start up goes well, that is always a nerve racking moment. I been getting a steady stream of parts in for my car so we will just have to see how the assembly goes. That can just be so time consuming sometimes, especially when you are doing modifications. 
I'm not going to make it....I'm finishing the seven today.
The motor was installed and 90% complete last night.
thanks Will for coming over and helping with the install.
I have just a few items to put on, then I will be able to start it. My brother in law is coming today to get the measurements for the cold air intake....I will post pics of the install later tonight. We did do a compression check last night, and it was 120psi+ on both rotors. Little high do to the assembly oil, Vaseline....but not to bad.
All parts have been cleaned and double checked for any trespassing materials!!!
I know the feeling!!!
My business(www.empirervparts.com) is breaking even, which I very thankful for that at this time. Kids are great, almost 2 yrs old.....lots of fun. I like the 1.5+yr old babies then the infant period. The seven will be good to me this time around. I have gone thru everything to make sure items are right and no corners cut. If I looked back at all that I have been thru in this motor....I would have been a little more patient and through. If the car is not right then don't drive it. I have learned to "listen" to her, and it has been good for me. the last time around was BS, and I didn't blow the motor because I was listening to her.
Tuning is fun for me, and I'm still learning. I will pay a professional to tune it, but I'm not to far off. The tunes have NOT been the reason for motors not lasting(1st corner seal thru motor, 2nd over boost 30psi+ when wast gate went bad, 3rd something wore done the apex seals to half their size due to no air filter
).

RedBaron is bringing sexy back....to FD's yeah! Jesse don't know how to act, Bring it to the track.
Okay I'm done trying to sing (yeah that's what I was trying to do) So Jesse what's the fastest time there? It's super cool to see that you got down I really wanted to go but I don't really have the gas money right now I'm going to try and run one more drift event there with my exaust before I take it off, but I'll let everybody know in case anybody wants to see me drift.

i used to design underground pipelines for SoCal and Las Vegas. Using AutoCAD. I was sick a couple weeks ago and so i did not get paid for that time and they scheduled a phone interview for the 29th so my unemployment account is frozen until they confirm that i am well enough to look for work

I wanna play too......
I'm going to go next week(in EVO X), and give this a try......looks like a lot of fun. I would have this week,
but the seven had to be finished so I can get the intake made up. That way I can start street tuning and then put it on a dyno for tuning soon.
Meth kit shopping has begun, and soon to be installed after base tune is done at 12psi(waste gate), and 15psi.
Anybody have or know of any kits for sale locally for a good price??
