Default Its Alive ! finally,

Im thrilled to say the least, the new motor fired right up, instantly, Thanks Jesse (Ski_Dwn_It) for the chip. Good Job, - have to throttle it a couple of times when it first fires up, then it idiles, other than that its doing OK so far, (knock on wood) sounds real healthy, you can hear the cam come it at about 3000-WHOOOoooomMMMMmm, full length headers uncapped, still going thru heat cycles settin the rings, sounds better each time, 383 six in rods, full ported and siemiese runners, heads, ect,ect, YES, :D :party: :party: :party:
thanks Jesse....

still a few items left to do, 50 series flowmasters, ect, ect.
