up and running. just need to send my computer back out for the retune.. right now it wont hold a idle just dies. hold the throttle open a little and no problem staying running.. cam has advance built in and having the intercooler on there im just thinking it needs its retune to get the timing right on the computer.
i was able to hook it to my camper for the first time in 2 months and move it so im pleased.

Sweet... now time to go play 
Mine still hasent come apart.. I think im going to get a few things payed off just so the wife doesnt go the hell off, then turn the **** on the boost controller. Tierod said he lived at 18 psi a few times so i know im not playing with to big of a fire yet.. lol.. I did turn it from 9 to 10.5... all it will do on that sping in the waste gate..
What pistons did you end up going with.. also any luck with the porting of the heads and intake? Those heads are so big i didnt mess with mine.
