Default Taste Test...

Thought I'd give you guys a taste test. Brought the motor home and mocked it up on the stand. Had some life changes just recently but hopefully I'll have it in the car and on the dyno pretty soon....

Thanks Neil! I appreciate it man. I will be giving you a call shortly so I can take a look at what the 93 wiring looks like. It's been a while and I think I have a pretty good handle on things (memory ain't as bad as I thought) but I'd like to be sure.

Looking pretty good! Looks like plugs and wires are gonna be a PIA though... Couldnt you use different boots on the plug wires so they arent so far down in the valve cover? Im thinking Hemi boots, if their the right height, you wouldnt have to worry about your wires getting cut by that metal edge on the valve cover.
Overall, it looks great though, cant wait to see some numbers.
