Wow. I've been travelling for work for several days, and just now getting a chance to drop in.

Whatcop - nicely done, man. Great power.

It's a huge advantage of the LS9 - since it was built (and forged) from the get-go, one can have insane power for very little mod money.

I bet it's a kick to drive. Congrats, dude.

I will call Taylor Monday to see where we at to see when I can get the cooler to you
Got the injectors installed and it runs okay but when it gets hot it is not a happy camper. I may just tow it to the shop in DE Thursday. I have a car show to go to tomorrow but don't want to chance screwing anything up with it running rich.

You drive to much fuel through the engine and you will take out the rings in short order.... That excess fuel take the oil off the walls..... You don't have to be rich enough that it runs poorly either... it can run what seems to be ok, yet rich and one can lose the rings... I know .. have done it more than once....

No doubt as I mentioned it is home and will be towed to shop.

This was done before the knowledge for the need to mod the bricks. Now the bricks are modded.
