my car is alive!

i finally got my car all together and it fired right up and idles pretty good. seems to idle a little high though.

mod list is:
GTP Stage 2 heads, port-matched intake, Comp Cams XE 224/230, Comp Cams 1.6 Pro Magnum Rockers, Comp 'R' Lifters, 32lb/hr Racetronix Injectors, CSR Electric waterpump, Cloyes Double Roller timing chain, Pacsetter LT Headers with y-pipe, 1LE Elbow, Moroso CAI, TB Bypass, 160* Hypertech Thermostat, madz28 tuning, B&M Supercooler Transmission Cooler, OTVC 8mm plug wires, delete EGR, AIR, Nitto NT 555R Drag Radial, Hooker catback exhaust.

the only thing i have left to do is hook up my hooker catback exhaust.

here is a bad video of my car idling. its bad quality.
warning the camera man says the f word when he sees all the smoke from the headers burning off hehe.
this video is with open headers

Sounds good. The idle does sound a bit high (~1000-1100?), like you said. Put everything back together and see what happens then. I bet it will idle lower.

Re: my car is alive!

do u think it will idle lower once i have the full exhaust on maybe? thats what i was thinking. i forget what u put my idle at in the tune i think 700 or so?

thanks for the tune madwolf
ill do a datamaster log on the car and maybe i can post so people can have a look or you so you can see if everything looks ok.
