Didn't like the arnotts?

They didn't last very long- 2 years or so. I don't have much tolerance in the front with my wheels so when I hit dips in the road my front shocks have to perform perfect or my tires rub. I was on some 2-lane highways and back roads where it wouldn't have rubbed in the past and this week it was, many times. I could tell the Arnott's had gotten soft on me and I have Arnott's premium air shocks in the rear which say they're Bilstein's on them and they work awesome, plus I've never been disappointed in any shock Bilstein makes.

It's done! I'm working on getting the first start-up video and first WOT run video done and posted to YouTube. No leaks of any kind and no strange noises so it's all good. Sounds awesome and definitely runs harder. Sounds absolutely insane when I open it up and it friggin' flies. Glad there's no break-in involved with a roller cam 'cause I don't think I could control myself. This thing is a blast to drive. Nobody's gonna mess with this Denali! And thanks for all the compliments guys, it means a lot.

And now that I'm done building the engine, I'll do a data log to send to BlackBear and they can tell me how much more boost I can add. I'm hoping for another 3 lbs. Then I can order a smaller blower pulley from Whipple and really see what this thing can do. Of course there's always bigger injectors and even more boost, and I might go that route! I wonder what 14 lbs of boost would do?

Ok here's a couple videos; first start and first run at WOT. Enjoy.
