RacinNdrummin's engine has the same cam in it, with stock turbo pistons. He converted two lifters to solids and has rotated his engine over, has no valve clash so far... so fingers crossed.
Ken @ Delta said this cam will clear a stock CR engine, but it is the biggest possible cam that will.

he converted two lifters to solid to get an accurate measurement of lift @ the valve, to know what the real lift is, and to rotate the engine over and check for any valve clash. After that, he pulled the two converted lifters out, and put the hydraulics back in.

Today went pretty well. Russ (typ4) came over and hung out for about 4 hours! We had a lot to talk about and it seems we see eye to eye on many things. He brought me a return line kit and also brought his Injector port reamer tool that has never been used. Needless to say I was quick to be the first one to use it!, it worked fantastic. RacinNdrummin also came over to meet Russ.

start at page 1 and move forward, you will find all the pics of my exhaust parts that you could need.
As for the downpipe, nothing special. Just a 3.5" downpipe. 90* at the turbo then snake its way down through between the trans and firewall into a 4" straight pipe.

Thanks for all of the condolences, its been a rough day. Despite this all, there is still work that MUST be done while I am home. So I got some more work done today, and got the engine ready to sit outside for a week or two while I'm gone.
I had to put the lines on in a pretty ****ed up order to make them fit after I bent them up to fit around the intake mods, but it was very easy to do. Nothing crazy.
