Yeah those are always fun...try starting a car with a TPS half ass bolted in...that makes for a great 3,000+ Idle LMAO!!

As promised, first start video:



The valve train chattered for a while before the lifters got pumped, I guess. It went away by the time it warmed up. LTFT is +7 probably from the rockers and ported TB. Gotta iron out the tune now.

Sweet action dude!! Have fun with the new found boost

Between 0 and -3.

very nice. How bout video of some pulls?

Still working on the tune. The porting and rockers really throw off the MAF. I've also hit a problem with programming the L67 file with my 3.05 gear ratio.

3.05 gears??

Yep. That's the stock FDR for 00-05 Impala LS's.

It's stock for the 97-04 Regal LS's, too.

Didn't know that. I thought it was unique to the Imps. Nice to know.

Oh, and as long as you're peaking in the L76 springs are doing well so far.

holy crap, just listened to the video of your startup now. did you turn the car over before starting it to get the oil in the lifters and all? your valvetrain sound horridly loud. either that or your camera is exaggerating some of it for me.

Could also be the intake/blower rotors...mine was pretty loud when we first started it up and we even cranked it over to get the lifters and everything lubed up...

It had been cranked over a lot during the compression checks. Otherwise no I didn't. It chattered for about 2-3 minutes while the lifters pumped up. Been fine since. I lubed the pushrod ends with oil before I put them back in to help with the first start up.

The camera was exaggerating it some, though.

yeah, that's what i figured. hope all keeps going well for you. sounds like youll be having a fun car pretty soon. wait until your first WOT run. dont be afraid to keep going for your scan if you see 5* or so. it is bound to happen.

I'm very eager to see what it can do, but without tuning I'm worried it will blow up right now.

It's nice moving up to a larger ported TB and rockers over what I had before. Less throttle required to maintain speed or accelerate than before.
