Congrats, sounds good!

I saw those zip ties you did for those pin connectors that broke.. just wondering how hot that box gets cause i saw those cooling fins on it. Thought I'd throw that out there.

Kyle, Dan, Nicole, and Jon were there. I only sent a text to two other people but I dunno if they didn't get it or just couldn't come.

Open Exhust or Cutouts?


I like the sound

[DETROITMUSCLE]

how long did you guys run it for, you should probably run it up to full temp for 5-10 minutes if possible and work all the air pockets out of the cooling system and such. Oh also CONGRATS GUYS! I know that feeling very well and damn is it good

[kammi10]

that would be open exhaust if i recall since he hasnt gotten the y pipe or cut out installed yet

We didn't want to let it idle too much until Steve puts the flash tune on it. It still hasn't had the flash to handle the 30# injectors or handle the idle and what not.

And many of us know the emotional feelings that come when the culmination of all your hard work pays off, Congratulations my friend.


BTW when you take the first ride you might want to by some depends.

I'm not sure if it will let me post these because it's still processing.

I only had 1 of the 02 sensors hooked up in the first two videos. This video is after we went downstairs and made an O2 extension cable temporarily until Steve tunes the o2 sensors out entirely for the speed density tune.

It took about ~30 seconds or so of actually running and very gently feathering the throttle the PCM started learning how to idle. VERY cool lope once it idled - video does it absolutely no justice at all.

Hey Craig,

If you want to come over tomorrow you're more than welcome to come hang out. Steve should be coming over and he said he's got LT1Edit on his laptop so he'll definitely be able to work on the PCM.

Here's another perspective of the first engine startup
