Default F1-A 408 build complete! Big thanks to those involved!

Well it's been almost a year since my car has been running and after a lot of money and hard work, she's finally back up running-and better than ever before. The car has come a long way since I bought it back in March of '08 and for once I can finally say I'm happy/satisfied with where it's at today.

I'd like to give a BIG thanks to all involved with the build: Jeff for helping me out the whole way through and really teaching me A LOT, and Mike for the dyno tune he did yesterday-it's right on the money. Also, Chad for the great deal on some of the parts and many other guys here on the board that I haven't mentioned. Here's a quick rundown of the setup:

-408ci iron block 8.5:1 (Lunati and Wiesco internals)
-Custom F1-A procharger kit w/ FMIC & procharger race BOV
-Tick Stg 2 t56
-Moser 9"
-BMR suspension
-QA1 coilovers

etc..etc...

I'd like to go to a car meet considering it's been over a year since I've been to one so if any of yall set anything up shoot me a PM.

Video and pics will be up today...

I could not tell you if there is any or not. Kody just said he is looking to bring the car out... Should be a pretty good turn out tonight.
