ok, not tooo big of a deal, but whenever i first start up my car, it takes like around 3-4 cranks to start up. it's been doing this ever since i put my cast iron gt-40's on. also, when i first leave my parking space, it king of stumble when i try to drive off, it only does this about once or twice, but it's just been bugging me. any help

have you retorq'd your lower intake bolts since the install? You may have a small vacuum leak...also, does your fp come up quickly and stay there when the pump is priming?

hey. thats a good idea to tourque those bolts down after a while...as far as fuel pressure goes...well, i dont know because i dont have a fuel pressure gauge, any other things i should look out for...
