So after almost a month of fighting with this car, I took it for a drive today under its own power. Still has a miss in it somewhere. But oh man, does it move. It wouldnt spin tires before, but it does now 
cam swap from flat tapp to roller
alumn underdrive pullys
alumn driveshaft
time to let it cool down, find my miss, wire-tie my sp wires back in place.

| That sounds exciting! Good to know that an upgrade has given you a very noticeable power increase! |

The first drive after a big parts swap makes it all worth while.

don't feel too bad, when i got the LT1 running for the first time it ran like dog doo. only to find out that i was missing a half in plug in the front of the intake manifold. right below the throttlebody!
