It's Alive!!!! :rockon: :driving: :dancenana: :chicken:

I fired it up at approx. 4pm today. I had a ton of help from several friends of mine. I couldn't have done it without them.

Also, I'd like to once again say thanks to Henry for all the pictures he posted of his build and all the specs he has posted in the GM Specs forum. Without them, this build would have been much more difficult. You're awesome Henry!

congrats

We charged the A/C in Josh's truck today, he has a couple hundred miles on it now. We lined up against each other for a little fun. I'm glad he was tuned stock even with inj. we were neck and neck. I suspect even with my twins installed here in a week , i will never be able to stay up with him. That truck is going to haul the mail at the track.

badass! i need to find my manhood (and a donor motor) and build a beast.

 

[JoshH]

Thanks guys. It feels really good to have it going again. I'm itching to throw a slightly larger tune in it to see how she does. I already told myself I'd put 500 miles on a stock tune though. At least I'm over half way there though.

:rofl: Just ask Steve how much I was cussing it yesterday afternoon right before we fired it up when we had 2 coolant leaks to chase down...

Congrats on getting it going . A few leaks is normal .

Had a few myself . Fuel rail leaks on mine .

Funny thing was it was the rail lines I tightened myself .

 

[jrad12381]

Heuy Josh congrats. Hows she running? Have you gotten some more miles on her?

 

[JoshH]

It's running great. I did my 500 mile oil change last night, and threw in a little bigger tune. I'm hoping I can get it to the track in a couple of weeks to see what kind of times it'll turn.

Nice Josh, good to hear it is up and running again.
