Well after seing this thing on the stand for almost a year it is in as of 8:00 tonite. All in all the install went great and had the the swap done in about 10 hours, thank god I have a lift. The hardest thing that we ran into was having to inch the verter bolts in a lil at a time, cause it kept binding up trying to get to the next verter bolt. Other then that everything went pretty easy. The best part I think is all the booze we drank during this event, it was alot, had about 18 people there at one point, but luckly they stayed out of my buddy and my way, but none the less great time. But hearing fire in the beast for the first time was almost as good as sex, wtf maybe just as good as sex. Have to say that the new mill runs great and but hope that a tune and biger verter make the difference, as I thought it would be a lil faster than it is, but there is still alot left on the table I hope. Sice I am running the 4.8 tune with a hyperjunk. I can say the stock 60e isn't liken life and I just love the 2 foot game. So with a lil more time an money I hope to break into the high 12 bracket, with a good tranny and tune. Again thanks to all those that helped answer my questions, maybe dumb ones at the time down this road to the 6.0.

THANKS JOHN

Be careful driving it around. Mine was waaaay lean, even with 8.1L injectors, running with the 4.8 tune after my swap.

I have beat on it a lil and will pull the plugs tomorrow to see what they look like. It smells really rich, compared to the old motor, but dunno, I will have to see. Hope to get a mail order tune from one of the comps to the right, untill I can come up with a good trans to have a dyno tune done.

Thanks John

Congrats on the install. Good luck with the 2 foot game. When I did h/c on my 5.3 it was running lean too.
