The install is the best part, make sure to take alot of pics because after all the work you will want to show them off.
It sucks that MMS stage 2 heads heads cost $1,200 and yet still are outflowed by Stock 3500 heads till 0.450" lift.

Looking good bro, now remember, the pushrods are two different lengths, the short ones are intake, the long ones are exhaust. You definitely dont wanna get them mixed up with that much money at stake
When you get a chance, lets see a shot of the port work ! I bet they'll make some really good power.

When installing everything, I recommend installing the plugs and attaching the headers onto the heads before installing the heads onto the engine. Also you might want to consider using locking header bolts such as Stage 8 or Breslin and applying copper rtv to all of the exhaust gaskets.
Will you be welding the down pipe yourself or taking it to a shop? I welded mine and then found out about 3 months later that the stock cat was clogged from what appeared to be the coating from the TOG headers, so I had to remove it and do it all over again.
Like BlackJack said, when you get a chance try to get some close up pics of the porting work.

im not doing any part of this install. i have neither the tools, place to work or the time to do it. i will however, take all the suggestions i get to the shop when i drop it off.
about the pics of the porting, i tried last night and they came out crappy. i gotta play with the camera settings.

I just did my head transplant, and it went together nice and easy heads first then headers, then sparkplugs, might be different for your headers however. The phenolic spacers are definitely a plus though....intake temps will drop quite a bit.
