Default ITS ALIVE !!!! FINALLY

So after a year and 4 months she finally runs again. I was an idiot and forgot to bring my camera to tape it. I was worried at first because she didnt wanna start....But after i realized i had the dizzy all wrong, i fixed that and she fired right up. Still dont have an H pipe, so it was open headers and rediculously loud. So really all i need now is an H pipe and a dyno tune.

The only thing i was concerned about is that the headers got pretty hot in about 30 seconds, nothing like red hot, but hot enough to not touch em.....

Yeah, metal pieces tend to get hot when you have 8 individual fires and explosions that continously occur in small chambers hundreds of times per minute, followed by the expulsion of 1,200 degree gasses.

I did a HCI consisting of Gt40P heads, tfs stage 1 cam, tfs street intake

I kept running outa money and time, so with the 2 combined it took me over a year, yes, over a year to do a HCI swap.

Congrats man. I can't wait to get H/C/I done. I bet it's a big improvement over stock. Hows that cam seem to idle? I bought that same cam but i'm not sure if i'm going to use it, or go with a custom grid.
