Default My Escalade First Startup w/ new engine

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...deoid=52476458


I bought this truck with a blown up engine...
it had 6 of 8 pistons melted.

now has stage 1 heads, ported and polished intake and throttle body, TOG long tube headers, Borla Dual exhaust, a blower cam, and of course the magnacharger. oh, i also installed a 2800 stall!

still needs to be tuned is why it wont stay running, and I think i have a vacuum leak too... little bugs to work out, but wow.. I think it sounds pretty damned healthy for a 6000lb SUV!
