Yeah ,that was 30 minutes ago. And I wen back out after I posted and started it again, a little more agressive on the throttle, and WOW. That video doesn't even tell it. I was trying to be gentle on the VERY FIRST START!
Well, I finished the entire drive train. After taking the trans out, bellhousing off, clutch and pressure plate off, putting the bellhousing and trans back on, and checking for end play (it was fine). Remove the trans and bell housing, putting the clutch and pressure plate back in, bell housing back on, fixing the hydraulic throwout bearing (shorter length piston for clearance) and re-installing the trans, driveshaft, exhaust, etc. It is DONE!!!!!
If I had a radiator I would be driving it around the block (without a windshield) tonight.
Clutch is strong but not too strong. You would get a small workout in Houston traffic, but it is not as bad as the one Super Snake I tried. It pumped up immediately, and stays firm even after sitting.

Hey, looking at the vid, did the blower suck something in the first time you started it? Hope not. Very nice indeed. I take it that you resolved the problems I seen on the MSD tech site with your FAST unit. Again, I'm jealous, you have it running, I'm so far from that stage...Boy it sounds so nice...

You caught that. It was the plastic cap to the blower. It did not suck it in. Cudo's to you!
Yes, I resolved it without their help. The FAST system was not firing. Turns out you have to plug in the "terminating end" to the "Hall/Cam" effect. The tech kept telling me I needed to buy the $34 adapter, when it was in my kit!!!

Glad to know your good. We have to wire tie all the plug wires to the intake because the procharger F2 we use will suck anything in thats not tied down. Have had to clean out the intercooler out at the track because of belt shrapnel sucked in..
I am not going to start it again till I have some type of filtration system on. I need 3 1/2 aluminum tubing/pipe and a filter. Know anywhere to get it?
Hey, I can't wait till you post a vid of you really getting on the throttle of that monster. I also noticed in your other pic that you are mounting the GPS antenna on the dash. We were thinking of doing the same on ours but we are planning to do one for GPS and one for XM and mounting them on the passenger side. Do you ever plan on adding XM?
