Was able to troubleshoot some things on the truck today and finished installing some goodies..



Loaded a new ignition map and took it on another small voyage. Put a wideband on it and it's running a little lean still, so new jets are on the way. Damn, it's hot out.



Got everything buttoned up and took it for it's maiden voyage. The difference is like night and day. Pulls great all the way to 8psi.

Time to get busy..





The motor is at a standstill. I sent the bottom end out to get balanced and it turns out my crank was out of spec, so I had to wait for another one to be sent. Got the second one in late last week.

On the good side of things, I did receive these though..




..which came on the same day as these.




I sent the rears out to get widened and re-chromed. My box of meats are on and ready to go. Time to start turbo shopping..
