You guys are the best...btw!! All of your posts made me really laugh out loud.

So I made my hubby drove the Sierra Denali home, I told him to follow me home in case of bad luck. I got stuck behind a old Ram truck that wouldn't do the speed limit... Since this new motor needs broken in, you can't JUST keep it at one RPM range... So I waited to a passing zone and... Well that Ram got left in the dust. Somehow I ended up home 5 mins sooner than the hubby... All he said is... You're gonna get a ******* ticket. Apparantely the old LQ9 couldn't keep up with my new beast of a 6.3. I think I did the math right with the overbore pistons making it a 6.3 now

LOL--NICE!! I hope you don't get a ticket, but it's so much fun mashing that pedal! How fast did you get it up to--so far. Can't wait to see the vid. Congrats on getting it all buttoned up.

I have only had it up to 5000 RPM so far, and it feels like it wants to peel the skin off my face, haha. I can't wait to get to 500 miles or so where I can finally brake stall this thing and floor it

Hahaha! Hell yeah brother!! Now I’m curious... I have a great mechanic, but he’s one of these guys who want everything OEM. Shouldn’t mess with anything. All are as they should be from the factory... ahem.. I want a contact in a more performance oriented shop. Can you give me the deets..?

I wasn't able to get videos today, work swamped the shit out of me. But... Hubby got a video of me leaving for work. Keep in mind she only had 30 or less miles on it, so the valvetrain is still a bit noisy and I'm still on break in oil. But this is wicked loud with my stock exhaust. I love this thing and I can't wait till I hit 500 miles. Oh.. I got a CEL for rear cat codes with my ARH catted system on my way home from work at 40 miles on it. I knew it most likely would happen. Enjoy the video, more will be coming

Haha, yeah I'm sure they aren't thrilled. But I'm not the only one, there's this subaru fartbox that has vacuum activated cut out on his boxer shit header... It sounds like how I fart in the morning when I wake up. At least the Tahoe is loud for a few seconds, then it lopes a bit
