It's ALIVE!!(video added)

Well, almost....

Installing the new fuel pump, filter today.. Should get fired up and have a base tune in it... hope to drive it home tomorrow....
this is from the initial start up with no tuning. Car will get a base tune today so that I can take her home and break the clutch in. Good times!..

Its a great feeling especially right when you start her up, but its also nerve racking because you hope nothing is messed up.

Enjoy

Out of all the money dumped into that monster, I'm most curious about the C6 looking intake. And congrats! I know you've been waiting since FOREVER for this thing to get where it is!
