I've been driving it for awhile. However, Friday morning on my way to work one of the deka injectors stuck wide open. I'm waiting for a new one. Hence, no cows for me. Haven't really gotten into boost yet, I suck at tuning. _________________

Nice! I've been wondering how things were going with that lately. |

So... what's the word on the white '69 in the shop? |

LT1/4L60e swap I was doing some cleanup tuning on. Getting a metal black wrap here in a bit. Not my choice but interesting nonetheless. _________________

People doing LT1/auto swaps in 2014? I'll be damned.
Nice work actually getting it roadworthy, though. Now that I've tapped out you've got to keep the mad-turbo-project torch burning. |

Next step is big cubes and twins.
Although I have to keep the pipes and couplers together for that to work. I blew off one of the intercooler couplers and ground it into the concrete while tuning WOT yesterday. _________________

Give him a bit. A T70 on a 5.3 will be begging for mercy in no time. |

I've had my fair share of kinks and hiccups to work out. I thought for a bit I might have destroyed the turbo seals. The connector for the oil scavenge pump broke and I was pumping oil out the exhaust. I might have gotten lucky. I just started the car without the down/up pipe on and I'm not spraying any oil whatsoever out. _________________

The oil scavenge what? From mounting it too low for drain I assume? _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

Bingo. One of those, 'I built it without really thinking ahead' things. Then solved it by over thinking the rest of the system. It's like a rear engined car, just much less cool. _________________
