thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't have anything to record it, but i can record a video using a regular camcorder and mail it to ya if ya want....... how did yours sound brad???

i have the duals but i wasn't able to weld the 40's on yet, hell when we revved it to get the lifters to pump up the damn thing sound like it had 40's!!! i was so shocked i about soiled myself!!!

and the real weird thing is it wasn't running rich either!!! with a stock chip!!! that freaked me out!!! thyr'e 30lb ford racing injectors too.....

there was 1 lifter that just won't pump up so i'm going to redo all the lash to get it right..... then we will get he cam broke in and hopefully have her home by the end of the week.....

also to anyone who would like to see the buildup go here

and the mods list here http://kyiconracing.tripod.com

again thanks to eveyone who helped with this and that and thanks to my buddy bluegrassz....

p.s. also congrats brad!!!
