Well I did a bad job taking pictures of installing the engine, it went good for the most part, overall the car is running good, especially for just a base tune. More updates to come.
I know the wait sucked, Steve, but that sound (and the performance to come) are well-worth it. Looking forward to updates...

Sounds mean, that car is going to fly
Thanks again Justin

Thanks man, It's definitely not cheap to build a 5.8 lol, but I'm happy how it turned out. Now to try and put 500 miles on it asap.

Thanks man, I've always wanted a cammed GT500, I was actually torn between the L&M NSR cams or the JDM super stock cams.
Freaking love the CF10s....

Sick ass machine!!
Thank you, I'm really happy I got the CF10 wheels, I don't see them very often on GT500s, especially with the new rotors and painted calipers, it looks amazing.

So I have about 250 miles on the new setup, I decided to ditch the small whipple mono blade for a KB168 hopefully it works good with the PMAS 149, now I need to remember how to adjust the tps voltage.

Oh the dreaded tps lol that engine bay is insanely clean
Lund sent the tune over this morning for it. For I know it work perfect, but I'm also prepared that I'll have to adjust the TPS, I know it's supposed to be set at .59 volts for the 168, I just don't remember what two wires to check to verify the voltage lol. But there's only 4, so I'll figure it out.
That intake is sick
Couldn't agree more lol, I'm happy I got one.
