I got my car running Well I got my car back on 4 wheels and out of the garage tonight. Over the last 2 months I installed a set of PP cnc'd LS6 heads, 2 intank walboro fuel pumps, new fuel lines, rails, regulator, 60# injectors, gaugues, And last but not least my D1-SC procharger with an 8# pulley on it.
I already had long tubes, ORY, ported TB, hooker cat back, and an 02 Z06 cam.
car runs a little ruff on start up but once it has been running for a bit it drives ok. The only thing I had done to the pcm was have someone change my injector flow rates for the bigger injectors other than that it is a stock tune for now. I have a few little things to button up as far as hiding wires for the gaugues I installed and cleaning things up a little. I have an appointment to get my car tuned the end of Febuary ( I need to recupe some funds) The car sounds SOOOOO mean with the procharger on it. I can't wait to get it tuned and see what numbers it puts down and then get it to the track. I am hoping to see it make 550rwhp and run a mid 10 at the track.

Without better tuning for those injectors, I wouldn't run the car that much if I were you. The PCM won't adjust for 60# simply by changing the IFR. You'll be running very rich at idle and during decel...

Same thing happens during decel...the gauge get buried at 10:1. At PT or WOT, the AFR is fine...normal I would reckon.
No black smoke coming out the tail pipe so that's a good thing, but better to not drive it/limit your driving so you don't wash our your rings, etc...

I don't agree with the better rich than lean part. Both are bad, but I drove my car from a buddies house to mine using that same principal, "at least it's not lean", and washed the rings. never sealed and I had to tear the engine down with less than 500 miles on it, 80 of those when it was at 10:1. I wouldn't drive it without tuning and definetly not without a wideband so you know exactly if it's rich or lean while your driving. Car looks nice though.

I did the same thing. I guess the O2's were bad or something but it ran full tilt fuel mode all the time, lol. Anywhoo it never did seal. 
Rich is just as bad as lean on a new motor.

I'm surprised a lot more people dont do that.

I am not driving the car right now other than just around my block just to see that things were ok. I am only gonna drive it when I take it to go get it tuned. It is still a stock short block that has 48K miles on it, so I am not too concerned about ring seal. Acording to my air fuel gauge while I was driving it and at idle it was ok. But like I said I didn't drive it far. I don't plan on driving it other than to get it tuned and I have no intention of hitting boost or anything like that until it is tuned. Just baby it to the shop.
I noticed the no sounds on the video. It had sound on my computer before I uploaded it. I will try and upload it again.

If you just drove it around the block, your AFR gauge could be deceiving you. They don't start working right until they're nice and hot. Like I said...at PT or WOT if you adjusted the IFR, you're going to be fine. But, during decel and idle, it should be stinkin the place up and burning your eyes!
