Ryan....good to see you are making progress...
it doesn't idle like my magnacharged GTO that's for sure LOL. Magnuson is going to err on the conservative side of things I think...so eventually a custom tune will open up some more power, but I'm sure you want to just get it on the road
cheers,
Andy

Andy your tune worked great for a baseline and again I thank you for it, it ran decent with your tune, the main problem was an open in the one of the cam sensor wires. Once that was resolved it ran ok just was rich and stumbled around looking for idle.

If you can, let us hear how those Dynomax bullets sound. I'm thinking about using a bullet style muffler if it's not to loud.

Just finish going thru your entire thread, very nice work man. At the beginning you mention an issue with p/steering pump pulley and gear box, how did you solve that? I have that issue with my project.
Thanks

Power steering pulley is from a 1989 Ford Van. It slightly smaller in diameter than the GM piece. Check out this thread:

I've seen the Spectre name on the brackets that hold water cans on the sides of our HMMMVs

Thanks for the kind words fellas

I put a coat of clean on it tonight and... (drumroll please) backed it out into the street to take some pictures

It's been under the knife and covered in dust for so long I forgot how nice she cleans up

Needless to say I'm a happy camper, my camera sucks though.
