Sky, glad to see you got it up and running. One thing you might want to do is re-adjust the valves again, I ended up doing that a few times on mine 3/4, 1/2 and finally 1/4 turn before I found that magic setting. That E-cam is holding you back and won't allow you do take full advantage of the Holley, why not ditch the E-cam and 1.7's and get a healthy custom cam and 1.6's. You can get some healthy grinds that will still pass emissions out there in CA. Does the Holley pull oil into your TB or Intake? If it does I have a fix for that
Take Care,
Rick
