I was anxious to here the exhaust system on this car!
The car kicked me a fought me all day yesterday to get fired up.. The one thing that worried me the most was that I opened up the wiring harness that Speartech had re-worked for me & cleaned it up & loomed it in nylon braid.. My fear of LS wiring on LS conversions is completely gone.. Getting the engine to build oil pressure before fire up was time consuming.. but once pressure was built it was smooth from their.. The dry sump oil system worked out great.. It holds about 11 qts of oil.. The temp maintained @ 180 thru first fire-up.. The ProPart Spek gages are awesome... But I am having a problem getting the the rest of the gages.. ProParts is working on getting the rest of them to me this week..
The smoked glass on this car is going to look great... Today I get the rest of the door glass in..
The SEMA crunch continues!

Hey Chris - congrats on the startup - sounds wicked! I forget the motor specs - I'm gonna have to go back and look. Never heard of those gauges so I looked 'em up - holy cr@p - those are some 'spensive dials man!
As for the rest of your startup experience - I can almost quote you. I have to update my own build thread but suffice to say I spent most of the day re-wiring also. Speartech was fine. ISIS was fine. Custom dash fine but the combination of the above took some last minute (re)work. Similarly - I am no longer scared of the LS wiring. However my fear did extend well into the oil system esp at startup but my engine builder showed me how that goes.
Anyway - glad you are getting close. Looking forward to seeing this monster at SEMA!
