Should be some kind of patch or dog tag you get for enduring the pain, right?

Was weird....after all the time I've spent on this thing recently leading up to this point, I almost expected it. When I turned the vid off, I thought....holy ****, it's been 8 (yes, 8) years since the last time it ran!!! Yes, stoked is a good word

Thanks guys

Tamed down quite a bit once we got the remainder of the exhaust on and a made a few other adjustments. Pretty remarkable given cam size and cubes....almost sleeper-ish. Still needs a tune, but no time at this point. Starts, stops and moves under its own power, so back on jack stands for another week then off to Vegas.....

LPE 403,

Very very nice.

Frank,

You're starting to look like a stalker. So, do you take the time to attack all of Virginia Speed's customers or just LPE 403?
