What is with the 2 holes drilled above the primary ports. Were you gonna bridge it and then change your mind. Should we call it a Holy Port based on your prayers.

Its running real good,i drove to jersey and back with no problems at all. but everyone has their setup,i did this cause i was tired of working on my 450 hp se,rear ends breaking,turbo trannys breaking to, and etc... so i just decided to build something that i could enjoy with no problems at all.
