Since I wired the fuel pump through the unit, it does not start cold on the first turn of the key. I have not had time to talk through this stuff with their tech line. If I can't resolve this these issues, they won't be deal breakers but minor disappointments. It is still way better than a carb but on an LS engine it is a compromise since factory fuel injection is so reliable. I also have to remember that a single plane intake may not be the best application (but it looks cool, right). I have already thought about putting this on my '71 and going with an aluminum LS1 intake (like Pro-Flo), throttle body and stock computer on this truck. But that would only be after all the tweaks are done and lots of miles and if I'm still not satisfied. For now, we're good. Last weekend I went to a local car show here in Springfield, the truck got lots of attention. People kept walking by and looking at the engine, then doing a double-take and scratching their heads and coming back. I told one guy it's an LS '51
And she does scoot for an old truck!
Next up: Slight bed raising and mini-tubs (wheels are rubbing and pumpkin hits the deck). After that, 700R4 is happening.
