Today I fired it up with the new fuel setup and everything. I bet people were laughing there ass's off driving bye.
There it was,a dust bucket of a car at the end of the driveway, with 2 kids hiding behind my truck, with Luke and I with fire extinguishers in hands apon first start up expecting the worse. All we kept hearing was- " Is it on fire yet dad?" ;D
All is well, not a leak one. Damn those pumps are loud though.
Tomorrow I plan on doing some testing on the street. Man it's relieving to hear it run again.

09' Update.
Today was the first fire up for my car with the new head,felpro MLS head gasket,A1 studs. I also redid the t3/t4 adapter plate setup with a thinner plate and arp stud/12point nut setup I put together.
Startup scared the shit out of me though. First crank it fired up after one good 30 sec priming for the oil pump. Man it was ticking so damn loud,sounded like marbles almost. I shut it right off and fire it again with the same clatter. I got myself setup to set the base timing then the fucker wouldn't fire up. It spun like it had no compression. After 15min of trying I had enough and gave it a break for a hour. I thought for sure I bent all the valves or the belt jumped. Go back out after calming down and a couple beers I try again and it fires right up quiet as ever man. Fucking lifters man had air in them and didn't bleed in right away from the dry head I put in.
Washed her up and had the maiden voyage. I picked up about 250-500 rpm of spool with this setup from the rebuild. 30psi came about 4850 or so. Before it hit just after 5000k. It sounds alot crisper and louder. Boost hits like a fright train. Also revved flawless to 8750 for me with the Kiggly springs. I didn't push it for a full pull yet but it feels alot faster and responsive then ever.
I give rides for beer! ;D
