It's in! It's alive! AND....It was a long night. got home at 4am friday night. I got some cell phone pics, but still working on the tune, and break in. I will get a idle clip, and pics up soon.

I can feel a huge diff over the 5.3! more mid range TQ. The cam is very radical, but my cut out is not working right now. I think I may have pulled a wire out when the exhaust was hanging. Oh well least of my worrys. I am just trying to get the tune straight and break it in right.

ha ha yeah I need to, its better now with the idle timing tamed some. these were at 25-27* at idle. I brought it back to 23* and it is better, may go lower, just need to see what is best.

bad news is the cut out is broke, slammed the motor of it on the frame. good news is a new motor for the cut out is headed my way today. $69...gotta watch what you go when you got loose exhaust pipes hanging!
