What's all that white crap in that last picture?

The 65* + weather we had today must be frying my brains. Supposed to hit 70* tomorrow.

So is that an aftermarket blower and cooler setup, or is that a newer stock GM setup?

Thanks man. Still kind of sucks though, doesn't look very good Laughing

Drives good. Little bit of cam surge in 4th but nothing major. A bit of tuning will get rid of alot of it. Low end power is insane on just 1/2 throttle. (Don't wanna go WOT before the new oil change.) Lights up the tires at 20mph at 1/2 throttle Laughing

Idle is pretty good, alot of timing. Going to back off on timing and get it to lope a bit more. Also idle is high, about 850-900. Gunna back it down to 750ish.

Other than that, cruise is just as it was before. Just has a lot more power when you give it some throttle Very Happy
