Starting to see daylight at the end of the tunnel, only thing left to do is install the plugs, wires, fan shroud, fan and button up some of the cooling hoses. Super excited to hear it run.

Rocketman,
What are the specs to the cam you have on your yukon?
It’s Vinci’s “trucker” cam…not as nasty as the one you’re running. It’s got good lope though, sounds great in combo with the blower. Lope and whine lol.

DUR @ .050" 216*/ 224*
LIFT .553/.553
LSA 115*
5A

Ive never ever heard a blower that didnt sound good! Even the old 6-71 blowers sounded good.

My grandpa use to be head of a certain city's mass transit garage (City Buses). When the 6-71 blowers got some miles on them he would yank them and install a new or rebuilt unit on the bus and the old one would be walked out the back door to be disposed of in the dumpster. (This was way before the age of recycling). Between garage closing time and midnight the "junk" blowers would find new homes....sitting atop an engine. ;)

I was thinking you didn't have enough of an English accent for that to be right hand drive. Before I get crap from anyone, I know there are backward streets and right hand drive in other countries.

Yeah, and the oil filter is on the passenger side of those engines, too. But only when your feet are facing the south. :bleh:

C'mon @Tonyrodz, you quoted @ivin74 where he says he has no mufflers on it. Put the pipe/glass down man.......

So @ivin74, what do the neighbors have to say about it? I had a bunch of my biker friends to my house for a loud party after my first marriage and to avoid any problems in the neighborhood, I invited the whole neighborhood to the party. It worked, no calls to the cops. How are you bribing the neighbors about the noise?
