prostreetC-10's 496 is alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It got a little later than I wanted it to so I didn't really have any time to start the dial in process. Basically got the timing "close" and seated those rings. Actually one of my easiest start ups considering everything was new. My custom carbs didn't let me down either. No leaks or drips. Even at a higher rpm for the initial, it didn't get over 200 which isn't bad for no air moving. Oil started at 70 and didn't get below 40 the whole time.

Make fun all you want of the fact that the bed became a storage unit and the drop off for the pool floaties. All I can say is this thing sounds ultra sick and nasty.....as ordered.

The only thing burned on that thing is super non-ethanol. Time to get the sheet metal back on so I can go break a rear end.

BTW.....that is NOT open header. I have little 2.5" glasspacks on it just for the fire up. Can't wait to hear it with the 3" mufflers. Pretty proud of my iPhone 5 for picking up the exhaust note pretty well. Of course it does sound meaner in person.
