I finally got around to getting HP Tuners and turned the VATS system off. So, we gave it a few tries and and it fired up and ran. Not without any problems though. I managed to pump all of the power steering fluid out of the fitting at the pump reservoir down the whole front of the motor and into the alternator. I guess I should have tightend the high pressure fitting when I put the hose on there. Who'd have thunk it?
The video is just open headers and it idling. There is no throttle response you have to make a throttle position change and wait on the motor to catch up. You can see that in the video. I think I am going to become real intimate with HP Tuners over the next few months or so. Give it a look and tell me what you think.

Hey guys thanks for the compliments. I am hoping to bring my vette home this weekend so I can play with it in my garage. It has been over at my buddies house in his garage for way too long. I am ready to get it on the road now. Tuning it is going to be lots of fun. Wits%20End

Wish me luck.

I would like to ultimately get to a dyno before it gets too cold this fall/winter. My goal this weekend is to get the car back into my garage again. I just hope I am able to pull this one off.
