i guess. i'm having some annoying issues with the fuel system. start it at 7psi and it slowly drops to 4psi. watch the return line and on start up it's pissin hard. once it's down to 4psi it's just a small stream. aeromotive is closed today...hoping they can get a new pump to me by friday.

i put about 30 miles on it yesterday. it heats up a little more than I like. only had 1 fan hooked up. hoping the 2nd fan helps. I also plan to pull the thermo to make sure it's a 160*.

He is probably back in the garage with his face stuck in it trying to get that stuff taken care of.

Sucks he is such a selfish he wont post any pictures or video of it running and driving..

cooling issues are solved. been driving it all over the place. trans tuning is coming along. the TPS sensor only registers 53% at WOT so we're having to scale everything back. engine feels like it could use more timing, but I cant hear **** with open longtubes and I don't have the wideband hooked up yet. i'll wait for my carb to mess with engine tuning any more. i'm SO over listening to open longtubes but the people around me seem to love it lol.
