Default Got Her Up And Running!!

Well Wes and I have been super busy.

We got the air ride all plumbed the fuel system plumbed and most everything wired up.

Fired up TunerStudio got a basic fuel map loaded and played around with the idle and got her running fairly good for the first day.

I hope you guys love all the electronics. Dashes are fully digital on a Windows8 tablet and all switches / toggles (including turn signals) are controlled using iPadMini with LTE (Google Maps and internet everywhere I go) haha or even my iPhone. However there is a master disconnect for the battery right below where the driver seat goes JUST IN CASE my code / app freaks out.

make sure to watch the hi def version.

Yeah probably in the early summer after we get all the rest of the nit picky things done, (headlights, shifter, windows) that way we can really dial it in. This winter we will build up a 5.3 (pistons, valve springs, cams etc) so it can really come alive and just bolt everything we got now on to it.

Until then gotta take care of the big issue items and get her on the road asap.

Default iOS Control Rear Air Bags

Also we got the rear bags setup to raise and lower from a toggle switch on the iPad / iPhone.

That way when I get out of the car I can pull out my phone flip the bags off and it will drop.

Likewise when I get in the car I will just flip the toggle switch on and the bags raise. It does this by hitting a electronic air solenoid.
