Talking SDPC 408 startup video



Well, here it is. This is the very first time we started it up. I told Kris Jones that I would post this when I got it all installed and running. This is a SDPC 408 iron block with Callies rotating assembly, TEA stage 3 6.0L heads, LSX 78, Kooks 1-7/8 LT's, ASP pulley and custom grind cam. The car has not been tuned yet, but I'll get that done very soon by the local legend Alex Procter, known here as an AP tune. This short clip doesn't fully capture the sound quality of the car, but I assure you that the cam has one mean lope.

Thanks to Kris Jones at SDPC and Brent Bird at TEA. These are two of the best guys in the business, and they can get you where you want to go. Feel free to chime in guys!

Also, thanks to al of my friends who helped out. You guys saved me from going hysterical at times, but we made it through this swap with only minor busted knuckles and such.

I wish I could have been there for the initial fire. All that work and I missed the final hurrah

I'll hear it soon.
