Default My first engine build lives!!!

Thanks to all those that helped me with my 455 build up over the past year.

I got it fired up and two test drives under its belt so far.

The biggest pain was getting the initial fire and then the Fuel Command Center ran out of gas.

Once we figured out the car wasn't getting fuel, a little trouble shooting and we had to bleed the FCC to allow fuel in, the FITECH took over and the tune from the previous cam must have been close.

Car runs amazing to far.

Oil pressure is good and no longer 80 plus. It sits at 60 over 2500 rpms and 50-55 at anything below that.

No signs of any fluid looks.

A big thank you to my wife for helping me fire it up. It has been a good day.

I thought I put a big cam in but it idles better than the RAIV with Rhodes lifters. Might be something to a roller cam.
