That just makes me cringe dude. I get so nervous and OCD about my own wiring, I couldnt go behind someone else. I would have to tear it all out and start over.

I did a little suspension work on the rear end, I changed the rear shackles to stock, and put 6* of shims into the rear ended I ended up with -2* I wanted more but I'll have to run with that yet and see where that gets me.. I want to put some preload in rear end with the assassin bars and do a 4 wheel alignment. I like the stance of it.. I just want to get a wheel and tire package been thinking of race stars but my heart is in the weld v stars.. And ya stage II is already in effect.. As of today.. Probly gonna be winter before I do it tho.

Stance does look goo bro. I should be assembling my 370 short block this coming week. Already got my L92 heads together with Comp 26925 springs and tooled steel retainers. Got my cam picked out and waiting to order. Running a 230/242 @.050 on .627/.627 w/1.7 rockers and 115lsa +5 advance...... I might be a touch big, but I like it!!

Ya man that's a bit big for one of these lil blowers.. Your not gonna take advantage of its low end power band. Will come on strong in the mid range tho.. That's probly a lil better suited for a Procharger. Just my .02... If you haven't bought yet I'll gladly spec something for ya and have it cut if ya like it, I do a lot of custom grind cams too. 425$ shipped like almost everyone else..

Got the wiring buttoned up and the new relay/fuse block wired in then I got the new switch panel wired and got to do some testing of the new setup. Here's a pic and a vid..

And here is after everything is complete.. And all the covers on. Turned out decent.. IMO. I went on a short drive after this and it may have the lifter collapsing, or a spin a rod bearing. Pretty nuts somthing is definitely making some racket sounds like driver side head area, I plan on pulling the pan to make sure the lower end is ok.. And if so I'll pull the top end and see what's up I'm guessing it's lifters because it seems slower than a typical rod knock and the spring pressure is about 448lbs open. Pushrods are 3/8" .080 wall and used stock rockers with trunion upgrade and .050" preload as instructions for the heads said not sure where it could have failed guess we will see I'll keep you guys posted. Pretty big kick in the *****.
Anyhow here's a 4k 2step brake test.
