Sound like fun! So much for taking it easy for the first hundred miles or so! Sounds like we'll need to do the 200 mile Checkup a little sooner!

Sorry... I drove about 45 miles first..

So , I will put more miles on it, easy one's and wait 200 miles ??

Then maybe a launch off the line, and bring it back ?? Or no launch ??

I have looked underneath and all looks well. I may lift it, and really look everywhere..

Sorry about touching the distributor...I learned my Lesson.. I will keep my novice paws off of it ...

But Steve, you rock...

My friend will sign up and post his impressions soon.

I was too busy to really see it...But very, very nice...

Let me know what you want to do..We could recheck sooner... I can wait until your available, and I will put easier miles on it..

Great work, If I died tonight, I would have gotten my monies worth...

Well, it isn't an LS motor, but it is the factory LT-1 with a Comp Cam 280H and roller rockers, and alot of machine work and new add ons..

Yes, i am on my way to east bay muscle car, so i will get on it some to check the advance curve.

Then we put the two silver springs in...Then,it should rev just like i want it two. We are close now..

Then one last test before I autocross, the rookie that i am...

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Other than bad mileage, this engine just screams...

Heavy lope and then wicked sounds at WOT..

I do love my Factory installed LT-1..

When you see me at an event, and hear it at idle and WOT, you will know why...

For me, it is the best of both worlds..

I can LS another car someday..
