Default Halleluiah!!! Fimaly done with H/C Install

I finally finished my car. Would have finished this past weekend if it had not been for the infamous O-ring. I put the new one in and prayed allot that verything would work. Fired her up this afternoon and the pressure jumped up to 60 lbs. I wanted to dance.

Boy it sounds good too! Got that rumpidy-rump idle, got it idling at 1000 rpm and when I put it in drive it only drops to 900 rpm. Runs decent considering it is not tuned. So now I am ready to get that HPtuners software and put it to work.

Thanks everyone for all your help and advice. This might be my first LS1, but it won't be my last.

Thanks! I already like the way it feels. The converter feels looser than a 2500, and I believe it is going to work out fine. I also like the BBK TB. You can adjust the idle with a stop screw which definitely helps until I get it tuned! CU!
