Well she started right up! Yes! Then after a long idle I felt the exhaust tips and it was clogged! After unhooking the exhaust from the cat it ran awesome. I dialed in the fuel pressure and my 36lb injectors and my Solomon tune matched with perfection!!!!!!!!!! Name:  100_1384.jpg

It sounded awesome with the exhaust unhooked behind the cat! And it has serious power! I hooked the extension pipe back up minus the muffler and am thinking about putting my stock muffler back on! Going from "Borla" back to the "Boom-tubes"! I might add an electric cut-out later!

I also refilled the A/C system with two cans of non-oil refrigerant and purged the power steering system! Pulling back in forth in the driveway my new clutch and roller pilot bearing shifted smooth! And the 11.4 comp. forged balanced rotaiting assembly with an aluminum flywheel is capable of nitrous in the future too!!!!!!!

Well here is my vid of my "honken cam" install. It had a LOT of top end. But I am building for low end torque. That cam is more for quarter mile runs and to melt, brake parts before sucking the oil pan dry!.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtytXHvvQdo

I took a new video tonight but it's not processed yet. I took it out for a drive to seat the rings. Runs great, lots of torque and power all through the rpm range! I love my stock heads, cam, and muffler! The stock muffler increases the exhaust pressure helping to seat the rings as well as build torque, and it quiets it down because it is loud as hell without it!
