its finally alive

after 2 and a half months of sitting I finally got a chance to fire the truck up and let em tell you it sounds great. the motor smokes white at idle and the throttle is very chrisp.it maybe me but is seems like it has a slight lope to it at idle time to break the motor in and then retorque the studs and then it will be time to go play.

I did a custom ground maxspool cam,decompressed the pistons and recoated them,studs,and dual coil springs. on top of the fluxs 3.5 and stage 2 cp3 and a little water injection to keep the silver bullet and the motor happy

Why not? They let Liberator pull with propane in stock. You must not be in the "IN" crowd.
