Default TSP LS7427 First Startup

First of all,
With all thanks to TSP especially Aaron Shoaf and their great product and service even to us International customers. The LS7427's first startup in the truck. There is still more to be done. No exhaust yet and the 14Bolt is not on the truck plus the shop still needs to make the driveshaft to meet the length and yokes of the T56 Magnum and the 14Bolt. Yes a T56 Six speed Magnum transmission and not a crappy Auto that ***** by itself. The work is being done in "High Performance Workshop" in Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia by the 4.5 Category Champion Hisham AlMulla who is also tuning it.
LS7427- PRC247CC- 235/239 114LSA- ARH 1 7/8 Headers- T56 Magnum- Mantic Street Twin Disc- 14Bolt AXN 4.10

Sounds good, but I really would not suggest just starting it up to hear it on a brand new engine. I know its tempting but you have a very small window after a fresh rebuild to properly seat the rings, and you have to be able to load the engine to do that.

This was the first startup following the guidelines of the builder. The oil was changed and it would be broken-in for 500 miles then changed again to be dynoed.

Not really, just two pictures and the video taken by a phone.

Sounds good! Aaron Shoaf and I went to school together up here in Missouri, he moved to Lubbock tx to take on the job at Texas speed.. We rarely see each other but stay in contact via Facebook, and text and when they travel to lsX events.. He does know how to spec out a mean running combo for sure!! Good luck with your truck!

Yeah he is a good guy. Even during his non-business hours he replied and kept in contact with me. He said it would crank over 650fwhp easily which is what I was after in addition having it street-friendly. We'll just have to wait and see how she runs on the dyno after the break-in 500mile period. I went to school in Columbia, MO for a couple of years.
