I even bought the paint...but this was my first time ever getting that deep into the motor. Once it was empty, it was very intimidating

I was nervous that if I started tearing wires of the walls, that I would not know where everything went. Not to mention that everything I labeled would have got wet and fell off...

I am sure that i could do it now...but now is too late

congrats on getting it done. good job.

now save up around $500 and get a dyno tune session. you'll see another 20 or more HP, quicker throttle response, and better MPG when your babying it.

You know, I would love to dyno that badboy...but I kind of agree with my buddy,

"A dyno is always going to be lower than your expectations"

...it is nice to live withthe fantasy of 300+

For the first time tonight...she is running...STRONG!!

It still will need some minor adjustments with the TB while the computer learns the new setup...

I am throwing a UPR X-Pipe on there tomorrow

that is true, to an extent.
but a dyno-tune isn't just so you can see what your making.

more-so, if you care about your engine's longevity, a dyno tune is the best route, other than just letting the computer make the decisions. Making sure that everything is running perfect throughout the entire RPM range is the only way to somewhat guarantee that something drastic won't go wrong.
