Default Finally!

Well gents went in tonight, put in some tranny fluid, did a couple checks, rechecked and we finally drove her off the lift! Just amazed on how she started up and guess what? It idles (1st time since I put the S/C on). Excuse the darkended vids but this guys shop is like in in the middle of no where (5 miles off a paved road).. Once I get her tuned the cams should be hitting a little more. Not bad for not being tuned though... I'll be picking her up Sat morn and can't frigging wait! Thxs to everyone again! After the 2nd vid check out what I said!

no problem man glad to see they were put to use. i would see if you can get it to idle around 900 for now. might not idle that low without being tuned. hopefully the tuner can get it down around 800 or so.

Nice! I wish I had a blower on mine. Natty A for me for now, until I explode the bottom end. What cams you have? 800 sounds about right for an idle on that thing to me.

EDIT: NVM just saw your sig. I'd go for 800 if it will hold it. After the tune I think the above is right, they should get it to around 800 maybe 850.

Thxs man. Look at the bold. Man it's not that hard. I paid 2100 bucks for mine including the intercooler etc., etc., . Kerns put me on to it while I was deployed to Afghnastain. I was like no way. If you need help (or anyone of you guys) pls let me know.
