finished H/C install

just fired up my car about 2 hrs. ago.man,was i glad to hear it run!just wanted to say thanks to everybody on here for their advice and especially JMX for the instructions on his website.car is a 98 Z with pp stg. 2 heads and tr220 @ 114lsa,a4 ,LT's,z06 intake and 3.73 gears.i really need to get my converter installed(midwest 3000).car wants to die all the time,i know that the computer has to relearn,and the stock stall isn't helping.but so far no leaks or other issue's.i will be getting it retuned once the converter is in.cam does not lope as hard as i thought it would,which is a good thing.anyway,thanks again!

I ran a TR220 with a set of Patriot 5.3's a year or so ago. That was a great combo, EXCELLENT street manners and great power. It made 416rwhp 392 rwtq in my M6 car with all the bolt ons.

Almost the same setup I will be installing...are these the 5.3 heads? You better start thinking about a 12 bolt with all of that new power...it is just a matter of time before that factory piece of junk breaks on you...

Enjoy...
