In went a Comp 224/581/112 into RGR Stage 2's ($1899.00-what a deal) along with an LS6 Intake, ASP Crank Pulley, Pushrods, and a 160 Stat.

She started up fairly easily, but I had to idle it up for 45 seconds before the idle settled and held. Otherwise it stumbles quite a bit.

Let me just start off by saying that the idle/lope sounds GREAT! It sounds like a Pro Stock prestaging at an NHRA event! I was so surprised it sounded so nasty! It sounded so good, that I started up the car and ran it in neutral while I washed it! It was music baby!

On to the initial drive. I babied it the first day, not exceeding 4k and put it through a couple cycles and I put her to bed that night. The next day I decided to go WOT a few times. Holy SHHEEEE-IT! When the tach hit 5k, it was like a turbo kicked in. Also, NO traction when this happens, all I could hear was squealing tires! Time for some DRs.

Other observations; the car is mega LOUD, and so is the rasp. Oh well, no biggie, but so much for WOT runs around any cops. My AC worked fine too.

All in all, if you don't have a H/C car, and are thinking about it, DO it! This combo transforms the car into a whole 'nother monster! I now wish I had done this much sooner!

Up next will be tuning, and then I'll get some numbers up here. YEEEEHAWW!

I'm with you on the idle thing...I did the same thing last week...let it idle while I dried the car!

Very glad you are happy with the car. It was a good choice of parts and should perform very well at the track with a tire and a rear.

Just let me know when you need any advice or other work done. You got my number

This is coming from the guy who put all my stuff in. Awesome job Darrell. From what I can tell, you could have done this in the dark with one hand tied behind your back.

you should have seen me jumping up and down after i finally started the car after installing my heads and cam

the best part is when people at traffic lights ask what is wrong with my car that it sounds like its going to die

I hear ya. They say that too after seeing that the exhaust tips shake and bake. My wife said she saw a ****-eatin' grin on my face that she'd never seen after I started it up. <-----kinda like that, but not really.

Did you get yours tuned? Any numbers?
