Default Car Runs!!! Quick Question...

Well, worked on the car until 1 a.m last night with hope of starting it this morning before my double shift...

Woke Up, poured coolant in, checked everything, turned it over with coils unplugged and fired her up after TWO and a half months of being apart!

I went through all the checks before my test drive - no leaks and everything looked good. I drove around for well over an hour keeping it under 1.7 - 2k.

My question is, after driving it that long, with a few stops and starts and then letting it cool until I came home from work at 10:30 tonight. Is it safe to get on it?

I just installed longtubes, LS6 heads, cam/valvetrain and 180 thermostat...I want to feel how much more powerful it is but am scared of breaking things. But I'm just glad that the thing even runs. I expected something to go wrong and not run. I'd say you guys have no idea how much trouble and pain(three stitches on my pinky knuckle) this thing put me through but I'm sure most of you know.

Thanks guys

Rick M.
