I finished putting the hood and bumper on the car yesterday after getting it back from the mechanics last friday. She runs lumpy like i expected and is definately making at least 25 more rwhp. It'll break the tires loose in 2nd gear now(from a roll) where it never use to. I have a video of the car idling in the garage for those that want a listen,I warn you its big though(21mb). Remember that it sounds worse than it actually is cause i had the door closed.

Sounds cool. Now you are going to be wishing you ported those heads to take advantage of the cams.

Don't you just love hot rodding. It never ends.

Actually I had relief's cut into the pistons for clearance. Luckily there were no bent valves to deal with.

I can't wait either. I should have the intercooler by the end of August.

My short block, heads and cams by next summer.

If all goes according to plan I should be done with the mods by summer of 07.

I think I've aggravated an oxygen sensor. Sometimes the car developes a bad miss in the #1 and #3 cylinders at part throttle. I pulled the codes and it brought up a "slow reacting" sensor in bank #2,and the miss in the 2 cylinders. Other than that it's great! Runs like a champ at full throttle(when the miss goes away).
