Thanks everyone!
I figured since I am spending sooo much money on this thing it might as well look nice. Well just got back from a test drive and this truck has NEVER ran so smooth. Even when it was bone stock it was nowhere near how it is now. Tuning seems ok, I have a slightly rolling idle so that would be first on my "to do" list. The injectors are riiiiidicules, the daily program pulls like hell! Not sure how egt's are yet because my Autometer  gauge finally quit working.Here is another video...........more to come.

Well Dave, that was fast. I guess you weren't foolin' around when you said you wanted to drive it again.
Looks good, man.

Well I have over 300 miles on the new engine and after working out a few bugs all is well. I was concerned that oil and coolant temps would be high because of the block filler, but everything is VERY normal. I got the EGT gauge working again and cruising temps are where they were before the build, but when I hammer down it gets HOT.......quick. Going to have to get my water injection setup finished and hooked up before I run any race programs. The power is amazing, very, very smooth and strong as hell. And finally mileage seems comparable to what it was with the 238's in there, but have yet to hit the open road and get any highway mpg's.
All in all I am very satisfied with the results.
