@tjmath my crowns aren't gold but these valve covers are. #drip


So this guy doesn't own a computer so I'll update this for him. I picked his 408 up finally and it got some gangster gold on it. New cam is a 231/243 .617/.623 113lsa. Hopefully be driving next week.

Gonorrhea means you at least got it in.

The gold valve covers ain’t bad. But I really do love that gold/bronzeish cerakote. Makes me wish I would have coated my headers before I installed them.

Those headers are pretty old and were wrapped with the fiberglass stuff that rusted them up pretty badly. Now they look better than new, our powder coat guy is a beast.

I heard steve got pushed around by the nvg4500 install. Its a real bitch to get in for tiny people like us. Cant wait to see more videos of the denali going side ways.

Pretty sure that tranny would fuq up Conor McGregor in a fight. Tranny is attached to motor and motor is in and bolted down. T case getting rebuilt and hopefully have the motor either fired up tonight or tomorrow, just got stuff to plug in and accessories to bolt on at this point.

I told him I refuse to pull the tranny again until the Torsion bar cross member goes away. It's so much easier in my RCSB without that in the way.

Yeaaaaa so much easier in trucks. Theres like 3/4" between the tcase and torsion bar xmember. Also sucks that in the suv you cant use the long truck style torsion bars.

Cant wait to see the after tuning results. Its gonna pull like a freight train.

I did not know the trucks had longer T bars. I ditched mine so long ago I never would have noticed that. I can't wait to hear it chop chop chop! Oh I gutted the Kooks cats so it will be louder too.
