Thanks, and yeah, actually I'm going to put another seat in it. Thinking about just putting some stockers back in it.

Thanks guys, she's coming along and will be making some track visits before too long. I've taken her out for a couple rips. It's not even a fair comparison to the old 370 or the 387 engines and it's not even close to being tuned correctly......

Here's another short little vid after some mild tweaking on the idle and she's sitting on the ground. Need to hit that exhaust tip with some paint lol.... Also installed some stock seats so I can actually drive the car with some level of comfort. No worries though, the 5 point stayed and it now has an up-to-date harness.

Thanks man. And yes, an older set of TSP headers that will eventually find their way onto the Tahoe when it gets the 6.0.

No real updates to speak of for 1/4 times or dyno. I'm changing rearend gears this weekend. Relocated the radiator and few other odd/ends.

I should be out at PIR on the 23rd/24th (weather permitting) to make a few passes and to see if I can break something lol.....

Nice, hopefully the weather holds out. If its like it is now, should be chilly. Great for trap speeds, not so good for traction lol... I'm debating on wether to run the slicks or just see what she'll do with the drag radials. I'm guessing there won't be much, if any, track prep since the Weds night drags are all over.

We have Woodburn rented for the 24th. If you would like to join in the fun, I can hook you up.

Prep will be excellent.

Also, next Wed is 1/4 mile at PIR. I'll be there for that.
