01, 78000miles shortblock with heads $300

not to bad i got it in today, still got 2 grounds to hook up, the intake, and all my fluids. oh and reloacate my 24x8x1.5 trans cooler and finish the intercooler mounting?

got work tomorrow so im hoping sunday morning i can turn the key.

i think i will drive it for a couple days and see if its boost worthy, then put the supercharger on it. should be fun. i cant wait. do you think it would be safe to run the supercharger with out any gauges (boost, fuel, wide band) for a little bit. my funds are really low, and im itching to run it!!!

I wouldn't . . . is it already tuned for a blower? I'd at least have a wide band on it.

well in that case, no way. . . you're going to create an even leaner condition. Are you upgrading to bigger injectors? some 60 or 42lbs?

you dont think nelson will be able to trun it right with a mail order?

i dont have the blower on there right now. i want to make sure the motor is up to par for a couple miles then i will put the blower on, and have my PCM tuned. i will be running 42lb when i put everything on.
