Eric, yes Sir. We just wanted to start it up and drive it around to ensure the heads and everything was fully sealed. Tomorrow we will make the brackets for the fan, re-install the HHR fan and slap the supercharger back in!

Sounds Great ... missing the decals on the valve covers???

Looks great with the paint! I hope it holds up to the heat.

So you did go with the bigger TB? Were you running the stock one before this?

I haven't ordered them yet, can't decide on which design I want.

Thanks guys, It was great to hear her running again! Trucky and I are about to fabricate the fan brackets now. I did have a stock TB until Trucky upgraded to F/B so he gave me his 69mm Fastman. Happy times.
