I just got my engine back from VT. I have the following:

(This WILL be getting a supercharger in March)
Teksid block bored .20 over (All bolts ARP)
CP 9cc pistons
Oliver Billet rods
Cobra Forged Crank
Billet Oil gears and Billet Trigger wheel
Stock B heads and cams
Stock intake
Aluminum drive shaft
RPM Transmissions T-56 with 26 tooth input spline and 31 tooth output (Viper 5th (.74 ratio) and 6th (.50 ratio) gears)
Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel
Centerforce Clutch

I want to know whether or not I should delete the IMRC's BEFORE I put the motor back together. The reason I want to is that when I took the heads off, before the rebuild, they were gunked up from the IMRC's and I do not want to have to clean the ports every so often. I also have 4:10 gears, ford shorty headers, bbk H-pipe, bassani stainless full catback, and I will have a tune after I break it in.

Now should I break it in with the IMRC's and stock tune, then get it tuned.

Or should I delete the IMRC's and break it in, then get it tuned?

Thanks for all replies!
