    6 hrs start to finish, cleaning the block took the most time. Runs ok with the tune that i have on it, but without atap i cant really see whats going on. slightest lope through the stoch exhaust. Noticed the trans fluid was brown, so I am sure it wont last too much longer.

    Stage I heads 218/224 cam. Really can't tell that much of a difference
    over the stock heads and cam. I couldn't feel much of a difference when swapping from the 5.3 to the 5.7, guess I have a numb SOTP meter! Idles a little rough, but I think I need to drill the throttle body out. Have to do some more research to fine tune it. Plus with out Atap it is a shot in the dark (bidding on a few different scanners). Protruk, just let me know if you want some help installing the cam.

    Well if I had slicks that just may be a possibility! haha No really I am hoping for low 13's. Remember I am 700 lbs more so I have to make that difference up just to get even. Now that NOS kit I sold would do the trick!
