Fuel System: Lonnies Double Pump
Injectors: 80 lbs (I know I'm going to 96'ers)

Yea man turned out to be a long project for me 1 1/2 years but feels pretty gratifying to know I did it by myself.

It's a good feeling when you finally get everything done and fire it up.

Unless you record with a potato, there is no "bad" video of a 390 with an F1 on it... Just saying!

One observation I made was that I did'nt hear any valve train noise. If there was any I couldnt hear over my F1A.......Also I thought my F1A would be louder than my D1SC but they sound the same..
