YES!!!

My previous thread, "i feel like an idiot", was about how i thought i had my cam timing off.

I didnt. It was my ignition timing. I hit it this morning fresh after a full nights sleep and i freakin got it baby!!

It sounds MEAN. (GT40Ps + full exhaust) Very snarly and burbly. Like Steve McQueens Bullitt.

Im psyched.

Ill upload an exhaust vid after i sober up. Im going out to celebrate my brothers birthday and the rebirth of the big bad 5.0!!!

There's nothing quite like the feeling of putting an engine together and firing it up for the first time.

Me and my car have the automotive equivalent of makeup sex after something is broke and it pisses me off and i fix it. It almost makes it worth the hassle
