Default The Chevy II is alive!!

Well the LS1 took it's first breath today. I was really relieved to hear it run. Once I got my fuel pump straightened out it turned over and fired right up.
I do have a check enging light but I don't know what it is yet. I'm guessing it's Egr and related stuff, since none of it is installed.
It's a 98 ls1 using a Painless harness, everything is going really smooth so far.

Sounds like a sweet project you have there! Got any pictures of the setup?

Stock LS1 or modified?

The motor is all stock right now. Next winter it's getting a single turbo, bigger injectors, and Ls6 intake. I'll take some pix of it soon and post them.
