Default Finally!!!!

Just finished putting my 01 383 back together @ about 2 in the morning, July 1st. It was well worth the wait. Fired it up, and it sounded like thunder. She idled cold and after warming up, held it's 950 RPM. Nice side to side rock and roll. My thanks go out to the folks that sold and provided me assistance on the following parts: ET Performance for the 5.3 liter heads (They're the best); Flowtech Intuction (Ed Curtis) "Your Da Man" when it comes to cams!! Nick Williams for the 90mm Throttle Body and FAST intake (Great Job). I can't say enough about all of you. The car flies like no other!!! Let's try another Mylan excursion!

Thanks for your products and assistance!

Glad to hear you got everything back together again - what an ordeal. Who ended up doing the final assembly and tuning?

As for track events I think a few of the local guys were talking about heading to Lapeer today, however, I'm waiting for our Milan event later in the summer. If you're ready to get a time slip let me know and I'll look up the MM track rental schedule.

Cheers,

Mark

I did all the wrenching. Got tired of the sort of folks who shouldn't be in the business. This way it was done the one and only way "MINE".
Thanks,

Was at Lapeer today - track was at least as good as Milan - amenities are not as good as Milan, but the track at Milan was not any better.

I'm not married. You don't have to be married to be obligated to spend your days off with your partners family.

Denny - 12.9 @ 110 MPH is doing very well for this time of year.
