    TDB's  no dyno, but it was broken in on a stand and it was loud.LOL  Nothing like Open headers(just a bit), A little tingle in the eardrums. :bananasmi



    Start her up with just the headers and I'll keep an ear out to see if I can hear it from where I am!  :roflsmiley:  :scared:

        :swaying:  The Chally is looking sweet. It sure feels good when a projest starts to wind down just in time for summer.   :jumping:

    Thanks for the compliment, I've been working hard on it for most of the winter.

    SB72, I'll be sure to post up the video when I get it.

    BTW, nothing ever goes smooth, trying to prefit some stuff, such as the headers(shipped/bolts wrong size), PWR steering brackets(stainless bolts to short), and crappa subframe connectors to top it off.LOL

    Sure is.LOL 

    Finished bolting in the Subframes, I'd like to have someone weld them in real nice for me later.  I need to paint the bottom and sides later.  I brushed the top and back sides already with some rustoleum.  Not too happy with these, should have picked up a set from Autorust. :(

    Got the old Transmission/Driveshaft/Lines back in until the new one is done.  Got a free converter(2500 stall) from the engine builder. 

    Installed the Drivers side caliper and tied the brake lines in to the M/C and bled all 4 wheels.


    Got the car down off the Jackstands getting ready for the bullet install.

    Tom ;D
