Default Finished winter project! (vid)
Finished up my winter project tonight. TSP 228R cam, prc stage 2.5 ls6 heads, 42# injectors, ls2 timing chain, 7.400" pushrods and a few other small odds and ends.

Fired right up once fuel/oil pressure were up to par. Had a little trouble idling at first but after awhile and a small drive it idled great at 1k rpm's. Tuning will be done this week too.

Here are a few small video's I took. Will post more after the tune...

I just got through installing the same cam and other supporting mods last night. Interested in your numbers as well. I feel you on waiting around. Got to start mine for the first time at about 9:30 and it of course had air in the coolant so am having to wait till this afternoon to fix that issue just to be able to drive it.

I got the car back today but no numbers! The car was street tuned. To dyno it it was an extra 175 dollars. I'll just be going to the local shop to get some quick pulls done to see what it makes. It pull very hard though and I love it!

That sucks about your air in the coolant! Hopefully that doesnt cause any problems at al!
