I had something awesome delivered today 
I'm hoping to have it running by Sunday evening. Gonna wake up early Saturday morning and work till my buddy wants to close shop. I'm thinking even by Saturday evening it'll mostly be ready. I can't wait!!

I went with 2800 stall, and I have a blackbear tune and they sent a tune for it. Once I get to drive it again, I'll do more datalogs to make sure it's all good.

Haha, no sparkles or glitter for me!
If I had a cousin like she has I'd shoot myself. Or most likely my cousin.

I just looked up what you were talking about- OMG. The political circus extends far beyond the three rings in DC!
I don't know if that's what he was referencing, but I mentioned her in response to @Rocket Man's post cuz she had a skit where she said "I ******' sparkle".
Agreed. She’s a piece of work.

I think tomorrow will be the day we all get to hear this thing roar!!! Made some good progress today, had a few hurdles that slowed me down a little bit. My 4 corner steam kit was a little to high for the intake so had to modify that a bit. Also, I know my valve covers were in question.... I painted them stock but gave the coils and the brackets a real nice paint job. On to the pics:
Here is how she has been sitting
Towed it inside the shop using my 06 Sierra Denali, the AWD worked flawless and the 6.0 wanted to pull the frame out from under the Tahoe, haha.
Here are the painted coils and brackets

YES! So good to see that engine back in its cradle. Valve covers, coils and brackets look great too. Nice work Mike!
