Sounds really good man. I know I'm going to stay tuned into your results.
Also, those pistons looked nice. I was actually going to ask you if they were cut in a piston vise with a bridgeport, but you had already chimed in and said they were flycut in the car.

Thanks guys. I got it out and put 10 miles on it around town. It drive great. It's hard to baby it at a light but cruising 30 to 40 mph is real smooth. The tune that's in it is pretty close. I'm sure it needs more fuel. I will hook the LC-1 up pretty soon. I'm trying to burn off a little 110 that's in the tank. I put 5 gal of 93 Oct in it tonight.
I didnt spin it past 5K. Taking it easy.
So far it does not really feel different than the X3 that was in it. It pull pretty hard above 4K.
I can't wait to get it tuned and strap it to the rollers. And then the track!
Patrick did you see that I used the 7.350" Pr's instead of the 7.4's?

Well I pulled the left rocker cover off to look at things. And everything look normal. We pulled two rockers off and inspected the PR's. Didn't find anything out of the norm.
I have a few things to do before I can get it tuned. My timing tuner wires got melted up against the header. So I sent it to full throttle speed to get checked and get a new harness.
I also have serious exhaust issues. That big *** qtp Y pipe is not cooperating with my TQ arm mount and D/S. And the cat back pipe is rattling up against the frame above the axle.
And then get my lc-1 hooked up. That should be easy.
I am almost done with hooking up a tnt pro flow purge kit.
I will post up a driving video soon.
I'm in need of some svo 42# injectors and looking for a set of 1.7 roller rockers. I have lots of parts going up for sale. Or trade... PM me.
