Default Start Up!

Well I finally finished crossing every T and doting every I and let me tell ya...there's a bunch of tasks involved for the heads & cam swap! (See sig...I actually installed much more). I guess I didn't make to many mistakes since it started right up! I haven't taken a ride yet since my hood is not on. But, it sounds very nice (lopey).

I need to bring the idle up a bit. It will idle but I feel it should be just a bit higher. Is there a way I can do this without having any software etc.? I will get the car dyno tuned as soon as I locate somewhere here in the NE.

I noticed the ASP underdrive pulley has quite a wobble to it. I had it machined 3mm to accomodate the double rollmaster. I torqued it down per instructions. It definitely has a wobble to it. Is this normal?

Cheers. :chevy

Congrats on getting it done yourself :cheers: . I am not sure about the underdrive pully but I'll check my car tonight. Im pretty sure that wobble shouldnt be normal though and if it did wobble I would hear it. Hurry up and get it out for a ride :cool:
