Default 6.0 up and running.

Well, fired her up last night! I was looking for somebody's quote about dogs howling, the earth shaking, the moon going dark, and babies crying to plagiarize, but I couldn't find it.

She sounds real healthy! Nice little lope too.

All I really need to do now is get a new tune, that plastic cover by the starter (Not sure how that got broke ), and shim the AC Tensioner a bit so the belt rides true. Then the countdown begins.

I'm curious to how my a/f ratio is. The exhaust smells like an exploded firecracker. A hint of sulfur. Am I a bit lean?

Blown, thanks again for the help with that booster line. I was almost out of beer at that point and it wouldn't have been pretty.

You bet! I THINK I may have one of those plastic covers someplace, I will look. You should be ok without it until you get one.....

Congrats on the start up, now stop wasteing our time with out pics

Just a mild 206/218 @ 0.050 113 LSA Crane cam. Got a deal on it a while ago for the 5.3, but never got it in there. I'll eventually get something bigger in there before I go forced induction, but I think I'm going to miss the lope.

Thanks! That may save me from wasting a 1/2 day to go to/from the stealer.

Around town, yes, but this 1/2 mile long mudhole of a road I have to drive everyday, i doubt it.

Pics are coming, just need to finish painting my cold air setup. BTW, is anyone elses K&N FIPK II rusting?

It lopes a bit, not enough IMO, but it's there! Too bad I don't have anything to capture a sound clip.

Well, I'm going to update my signature.
