F13 installed, soundclip inside! This past weekend, we installed my F13. 99 SS, stock heads, mods in sig. My F13 is on a 112+2 (bought from Gomer 
). I am running Patriot Gold dual springs and FMS 7.4 pushrods, etc.
Once the car was back together, I started it up for the first time and to our surprise, it found idle at ~800rpm and held it perfectly. I didn't have to play with the gas pedal at all. The second heat cycle restart it started to die, but found idle relatively quickly as well. I've been driving the car for a couple of days now, obviously untuned, and it isn't bad at all. It finds idle very quickly, and I've run my A/C without any real problems. Of course it surges, etc., but a good tune (end of the month) should take care of that. I still have the stock limiter in place, but good lord this thing pulls hard. Can't wait to get it tuned and hit the track!
Sound/Video:
Please right-click, save as. The clip is in Quicktime format. I have provided an extremely useful utility here... if you like, install Quicktime Alternative and you can watch all Quicktime files in Windows Media Player.

BIG, BIG thanks to Ryan (Tally TransAm), Bo (brandboz28) and my buddy Jon (don't know his forum name) for all the help. These guys are awesome, it wouldn't be in without them.
