No, that was actually after the break in and oil change. I just didn't have the camera tthe first time. I woke up my daughters friend that works midnights. Oops. Now off to the dyno for a final tune and exhaust.

Thanks. Yes it was from pcm of sc. Running a bit rich right now, i am going to put the stock tune back and some 26 pounders i have to get it to the shop so we can dial the 36ers in. It does sound amazing though, shes a bit of a flamethrower now. The install was a bit different as the whole valve train geometry had changed due to the heads being machined. Needed to shim the springs for proper intall height and 2 different size pushrods as the intake valves were slightly taller than the exhaust. Taller valve covers to fit the rockers so modifying the ac alternator bracket to fit, also the lt1 fuel rail had to be reamed out to to fit the lt4 intake. I will get some detailed pics posted soon.

Good deal, nice job. I've always wanted to do an LT4 hotcam on mine, but I'm thinking keeping the c4 as a bolt on car and putting a C5Z in the driveway is going to be the best solution.

Yeah i mowed it over and think im going to stop here. 7500 in the motor and trans, but i do love the car. Another 1500 for the exhaust and tune and ill stop just short of a divorce. Although an engine management system would be nice as the 92 you have to do mail order or a shop tune every time you want to change anything.
