Under its own power...






I did take some video of it idling as well, with a quick rev to about 2500.
Once I get a livewire here, I will post it. :P

Good job mang. Glad to see you finally got it finished for the most part. I'm anxious to see videos after the tune.

I'm sure it's just my computer. But at idle it sounds like you have a leak, and when you rev it up it sounds mean. Definately not a sleeper!! Just listen to it. NO sleeper. Definately bad ass. I wish I could tolerate sitting on the floor of a car or I'd get a bird. Bad knee from football makes it hard to get in and out of those things, that's one reason I stick with the Stang. I keep telling myself I could live with it. Then my wife says all I would do is bitch and moan like an old man. Hate to say it but she's right.

Re: Under its own power...

Appears to be missing.

Probably a fouled plug...I hope.

Re: Under its own power...

It is a new block. LQ9 block outta the larger trucks.
LS1 internals.
Ends up with a 4" bore and a 4" stroke.
There is more bore than the stock LS1....but this new block was not bored out.
