So...do any of you get paranoid after doing big mods and get paranoid/scared/worried about starting your car?

Maybe you just finished a head/cam swap? or transmission work? etc?

Well, I just installed a new converter in my car (Yank SS3600)...right now I'm just waiting on my computer to get back from a mail-order tune (Tuesday)...and I really don't even want to start the car.... Hah...I know I did everything right...just would really suck if the transmission pump broke or something went totally FUBAR.

Always think negative! So you don't get your hopes up.

nah... if it messes up, just a reason for bigger and better things...especially if you have another car for a daily driver...

ZMONSTER!

hell I was scared after I changed my plugs and wires! Oh and after my adj. torque arm. I convince myself I feel/hear stuff that isnt there.

Mine blew chunks out of the block and oil pan when I turned the key. Technically, the car didn't even turn over so I think that rules me out of the thread. I will be super paranoid when it goes back together though.

Not at all. I finished a big block build late one night, didn't want to wake the neighborhood so I got up early the next morning, started it up, put it in drive and drove around town breaking it in.
This was a motor home engine built to run low 11's, only factory part left was the block and crank.

I'm impatient to start the car after modding...

When I hear it start up after a repair or doing something right on mods, it's like great music. It's the drive after the start up that scares the **** out of me. Then you hear things that weren't there before AND you have to deal with a hot engine...

I feel paranoid and pumped at the same time, im just afraid to see the SES light haha once i dont see that and the car runs hella good...i feel pretty damn good.

shenanigans

check and double check after that I am good to go. If something happens I probably should of checked it first and learn from that. pretty much trial and error sometimes
