After beating the valve cover baffles in, they fit!

Now on to the major problem with this new intake manifold.....the tstat housing and modifying the A/C & Alternator bracket

Radiator and core support bolted back up

Fuck you A/C Bracket.....

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!! Needs some serious tuning though. Have a coolant issue to address first thing in the morning as well. Will be setting fuel sync at work as well so I can properly tune

Sounds pretty damn good! Should sound better after it is tuned. Congrats!

I'll tell you what though, I took it out for a quick drive and holy fucking ballshit batman!

This fucker spins tires at 45+ mph now like nothing. As soon as I got to about 4500 rpm, the truck became alive and revved past 6000 like it was nothing. Hell that's the first time I've actually hit the rev limiter which is set at 6200! Looks like I'm upping it to 6500...mwahahahah

I just outran a fucking Hemi Challenger!!!!!!!!

Officially scared my Dad tonight. He couldn't believe how hard this thing pulls once it hits 5000 rpm. He doesn't believe his 425hp SS 396 El Camino will keep up....mwahahahahahahhaa

Killed an STI, and an LS swapped 5-series today as well. They were fairly shocked

This thing is definitly faster than the 4kq when it was running mid 13's. I almost dare say this is a high 12 second truck now considering 2nd gets me to 90mph when I shift. It pulls like a mofo

Good thing you have (had) meaty rear tires!

AngryTaco · Post by **AngryTaco** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 3:43 pm

They dont do shit even with 500-lbs of weight!!

ringbearer · Post by **ringbearer** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 3:48 pm

You need slicks and warm weather

AngryTaco · Post by **AngryTaco** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 6:32 pm

My slicks dont do shit either!!! Lol

Yeah these tires dont do well in cold temps. They need to heat up before any real benefit

Gave the boss a ride today. Never saw someone grab the 'oh shit' handle so fast in my life

Its always nice to scare the boss from time to time. I think its driving video time

AngryTaco · Post by **AngryTaco** » Fri Nov 07, 2014 2:13 am

Yeah I'll try and get a rolling video from a chase car this weekend if the weather permits. Winter is here and the weather has been very shitty.

AngryTaco · Post by **AngryTaco** » Tue Nov 11, 2014 12:32 am

Im sad and happy right now......

Got the garage more organized than ever (with both more room AND crap!)

The truck is pretty much officially parked until spring or a dry spell during winter. I'm going to start on the battery relocation and the kill switch. Going to mount it cleanly in the rollpan so I am NHRA legal at the drag strip. Should turn a few heads.

I got ALOT done this year on it.

Motor refreshment, overhead HUD console, rear tires, roll pan, and rebuilt the front end

Who needs Audis when you have that ass waiting at home everyday for you? Oh and I can get inside of it and play around any time I want

AngryTaco · Post by **AngryTaco** » Sat Nov 22, 2014 10:21 pm

Well truck is officially done for the year.

Took it out tonight for a cruise......annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd..... ROD KNOCK. Damn.

Contemplating doing the 408 build now but considering throwing in the spare crank and some cheap 10.5:1 KB pistons in for a cheap and effective rebuild.

That sucks dude. My good friend just picked one of these up for a grand. He's redoing the brakes right now.

Wow. Now that's a deal. Did he get an extended cab or a regular like mine?

Started the rebuild process!!!!! #3 rod had no bearing. LITERALLY. All rod. Bearing denigrated into the pan
