Wrapped up the install of my GMPP "HOT" Cam, LS6 springs, new spring seats, valve stem seals, trunion upgrade for the rocker arms, ported LS6 oil pump, LS2 timing chain, Powerbond 25% UD pulley, and some MLS head gaskets.

Had it on the 1/8th mile for the first time. Wasn't a true 1/8th mile since they turned the runway into it, but was a good learning experience. Ordered 160 degree tstat, SLP Manual Fan Switch, LCA's and PHB. Next will be SFC's.

Thanks! I did a little tuning on it yesterday and have it idling much better now. I just need to set aside a day and tune the LTFTs as right now they are super high and burning really rich.

Thanks! It's very much a work in progress and still has a long way to go before I am satisfied with it. Just signed up for southernfbody. Always nice to have a localized source for things. I would love to go to it however I am not sure if I would be able to make it or not. I have a work conference in ATL in Oct so it might be difficult to get both things penciled in.

Gave her a good bath and cleaning that she deserved after all the stress I put her through lately. Now I'm going out for a nice steak
