All Right Grippy!!!!! The next deployment will go a lot better, now that you have that off your mind. It's been a LONG haul, but you/we learned a lot. Thanks from all of us!!!!!

She's very purdy! The anticipation is building.

I only wish I could be there when you hit the key for the first time.
I want to be one of the first to congratulate you on a spectacular build. I can't wait to hear it run! Go Grippy go!
Thank you Richard, I owe you a BIG thank you! You've really been a great friend to me and I can't tell how much that's meant to me, even though I took FOREVER to get your Stage II heads tested, I have no doubt they will kick ***! stay tuned(literally)

j/k bro...looking good...hurry up and fire her up! That truck has got to be yearning for some outdoor time!

What are you gonna do for engine break-in?
oil is in brother! First thing I have to do is get to the gas station, I'm running out of gas!
I'll take it easy for the first couple hundred miles, heat cycle it, gradually increasing load.

Uh, just looked. This build thread on 11/212006!

Wow. I didn't realize it has been 1.5 years! I was thinking a year tops. I would have already burned mine if a project took that long.
