No need to tune...it has to be right on! Thanks to the guys at LPM...averaged about 19.6 mpg on the drive Friday. Drove it for a bath first, then off to the Good Guys show to see AnM and the shiny hardware parked on the lawn at Westworld... Whoaa...talk about overload! DAYUMmmmm. As of today, I have 400 miles of break in left....but she pulls HARD and smooth with the new motor. I don't dare stick my foot in it yet, but she puts a tingle in the ol' Happy sac! Now, I need to find time to take care of some other things for which I have already got parts for, like the new front spoiler and most of all those C5 seats courtesy of the Man From Garlic Gulch. It figures things at work would get hectic, but let's just say it came with a promotion this time! :3gears:

Engine has been running great, but have put less than 750 miles on it since I got her back. Yes, I did have the oil changed at 500 miles. I have started on a few NEW projects to go with the heart transplant! Besides the seat install in progress, she'll be going up on jack stands for a bit of front end work... I will also respray the inner fender skirts, polish all of the aluminum suspension parts, and things like the sway bar brackets and some accessory brackets are going to the powdercoaters. Also the new spoiler will get SS fasteners for mounting.

Got out files and sander before sending these out to clean up all the rough edges and casting marks...see if you can guess the wrapped up parts!
