I got the car nearly ready to start. I just have to get my radiator hoses lined out and get it down off the jack stands. I am anxious to get the car running. Hope fully no major problems will come up. Oh well. I am off to the parts store and back to the shop.

On another note, I built a setup nearly identical to mine for a co-worker at the plant. He paid in full, but has since sold his car. One of those got the girl friend pregnant deals. He wants me to post it up for sale so Keep an eye out in the For Sale section for it.

Yeah it does. I have to work all week end at the plant so I wasnt gonna have much time to work on the car anyhow. I just wanted to hear it run again after 6 months worth of spending and building.

Well the new cable work. Connected with the XFI box in like half a second.

So I started the car and it idled for like 10 seconds and then died. Made my day.

So does anyone have a good base VE map for a 370 for a FAST XFI setup?

The car is alive and running. It hold a steady idle and sounds bad ***. It is still rich all over the VE. I have to do some research on the FAST XFI setup. Tunning will begin this weekend as well as some updated pic and hopefully some video.
