I know Steve. I looked at Penny here in NC before he bought her and in turn he looked at a M3 convertible for my wife in Ca before I bought it. Shot my car for Camaro Performers.

He is a good dude. Just hate he lives on the wrong coast. LOL

I agree Jody. And a "track rat" as well.:thumbsup: :cheers:

Well, we fought the good fight but I'm dead tired from working all day and then till 10pm every night (then an hour drive home).

Was going well, but we ran into a couple of small items. Namely the sensor bungs we put in the radiator sides were in exactly the wrong place and need to be rotated to the other side.

The biggest problem is a substancial oil leak from the rear cover. I don't know if the gasket was FUBAR'd or I screwed up torqing it down.. but it leaks and that means the trans has to drop.

Not a HUGE undertaking but with 36 hours until the show I just don't feel like killing myself and the friends that work with me to make some arbitrary date. This way I won't have to rush it together and then have to go back and "fix it" after Del Mar.. Instead we are going to have it right the first time.

But, as a consolation prize here's how Penny's new LS454 sounds though the exhaust system. We all agreed that it's much more pissed off sounding.



Tomorrow we mod the radiator and then next week we drop the trans and fix the leak.. I hate leaks!

oooh she sounds mean!

Sounds VERY healthy !!!!!! :hail: :hail:

Kind of surprised it ran that good with no MAF, no water, no alternator (no belt) and no specific tune..

The first time we tried to fire her up we were like WTF? then we realized we didn't put on the ground strap.

She'll be on the road in a few weeks.. since we missed the show we can take our time and do it right.

I'm diggin it:thumbsup:

I'm taking this video over to the shop building my motor - tell them "this is the way a killer motor should sound"....

:hail:

As always...:bow: Love the sound!

Riding lightly and carrying a big 454 cid stick. :unibrow:
