Default About to get it started

Ordered the final piece for the car today and can't wait to get everything installed. I have the vararam ram air, a TSP 233/239 cam, FAST 36lb injectors, and ordered my ARH headers and X-pipe this morning. Car will be getting tuned july 23rd so i am going to wait until right before then, mainly cause I don't want to drive the car around untuned for too long. I'm pretty excited about getting all this done. stay tuned for results.

Get it tuned for the injectors before you fire it. With the bigger injectors you could wash out the rings if it isn't tuned. Be sure to let us know what kind of numbers it puts down!

Thanks for the advice Jon. I hadn't plan to, but will make sure to have a baseline done now before the guys come out to the island in July.
