Default First day out of the garage, no smoking.

Well I got the kinks worked out of my APS TT install today. I got all the interior back in and took her for the first drive. Man I was nervous! This was my first BIG job and Ive never pulled a motor before. I took her down to the local gas station to fill her up. Everything sounded GREAT! I came back home and checked my fluids and I was off! Traffic was a biatch and I knew this would be a great test. Drove about 35 miles with no problems and no smoke. I guess Im just lucky so far, I used 10/30 oil 5 1/2 quarts. I REALLY cant wait to get her tunned so I can see what this kit is all about. I didnt want to go into too much boost without the tune first, because of the cams. Man it felt great to have the car back on the rode! Its been four long months! Man Im glad its over! Just in time for winter
