Default She's Alive!!! Not to shabby sounding for just an LT4 kit

So it turned out there were some grounding issues and it was a hidden one that another LTx local owner helped me find. Without Stew I never would have found it.

But I fixed the tan/White Grounds and the Black one at the ICM and then the PCM Ground was not where it should have been, reconnected it and made sure it had goo ground and this was the result:



Next I will finish preping for paint in January, decide on a color and let it rip. But I will probably start driving it this week after aligning it and getting the Y-Pipe made to connect the Headers to the Hooker Cat Back.

Damn what a good day.

Its open Headers between that and them being new I got a little smoke from her. Freaked the Person Recording it out though lol.

I do, she is aligned now. Tomorrow after work the exhaust gets connected.

I have been cleaning up the little things I had left.

I got the Cat back and Pan Hard bar on.

Tomorrow while at the exhaust shop I will bolt up the Control Arms and SFC's and maybe weld them in... not sure yet. Other then that then maybe I can focus on getting her ready for paint!

However I do need to make a small thread I am not sure maybe between using my autoxray and that MSD timing screw but when I go to take off if I try to do it lightly she seems to stumble a little... I am not sure yet, still playing with it.

I painted it GM Corp. Blue. I hate red.

But if you look closely at the runners you can see small spots of red as when I did the runners in-between black there were small spots. (Due to the tape covering up the polished lines on top)

Anyone can paint things, that does not make it LT4. However if you look through my prior posts you can see the under side of it and it off the motor (and still red so it makes you feel better).

Perhaps it's my speakers or the lack of quality in the video; but that thing sounds like a washing machine filled with old shoes.
