yup thats right ! my Camry is back up and running, took us 7hours on sunday and it started up on the first crank.. man it sounded so sweet. the car has a totally different sound, the blower whine is louder than ever, the engine sounds stronger than ever. you can tell right off the back that its not a stock 4cyl anymore, the sound is more rough.. hard to explain but it sounds like its built ehehe. i took it out for a drive today and damn its smooth.. having the engine balanced made so much difference, it revs up so much faster and smoother. it runs super smooth even though we left the huge harmonic balancer out of the engine, im not sure how much more power gain it gave but im sure its a noticeable amount. im gonna post pictures of the engine in the car and being ready to start up.. i didnt take too much pictures cause was so busy putting things back together. i also wanted to make some videos but this new camera i got only takes 5seconds os footage, im gonna have to figure it out and make videos next time but i promise ill have videos this time ! ill keep everyone updated and keep an eye out for my next post with pictures and video :)

Hey shook you might want to let the motor break in for about 2000 miles before laying into it ... And run nothing but dino oil till you finish break in ....

ehehe thanks Justin, im not that crazy to start pounding it like crazy from mile 0 lol. im gonna break it in with regular oil for the first 500miles then switch to full synthetic and run it a little more before hitting the dyno and upping boost to 9psi. right now im keeping it under 3k rpm because thats when boost starts to come in and i make sure that i dont keep it at the same rpm for too long. man i really wanted to make a video but i cant figure this thing out.. i might have to just borrow my friends camera or have him make one for me but ill surely get one for everyone to see and hear ! :) thanks for the support.
