My biggest project to date.

Plenum and IHs pulled and sent out for porting and PC, entire secondary system removed, new chip.

Finally finished everything and made a couple of runs up and down the
street. I was relieved when it started and idled normally. It runs as good as it looks. I'm gonna need new tires, for sure.

Special thanks to Lee Gaffigan for all the time he spent porting, and
for making sure everything looked great at the PC company. Wonderful
customer service and plenty of moral support along the way.

All the new stuff makes everything else look dull. Got plenty of other parts
to clean up now.

PS: forgot to put the TPS cover on before the pics.

My emblems look OK. Its those pesky cam covers that suffer by comparison. But thats another project. Sure glad to have this one done.

Next is coolant flush/change, accessory belt, tranny fluid and brake calipers
and pads.

Wash the cam covers good, then wipe them down with armorall and it will bring then up alittle bit and match the plenum better.
