    Got the computer back. Plugged it in. Fired it up and these are the sounds the cow makes



    Got an LT4 knock module and headers, going to install those this weekend. Fill the transmission with fluid and whatever else I can come up with.

    Up the rear quarter panel? What is this, a Harley?

    There must be an obnoxious exhaust or else I'll beat you.
    There's only room for one worst mechanic on this forum.

    It'll most likely end up with obnoxious exhaust, but I still wanna fight...

    Answer:
    Roses are red,
    Violets are blue,
    Women are useless,
    Just like all of you.

    I figured out the issue with the car dying, it was the chip/key security system that was no longer hooked up to the ECM, so the ECM was shutting the engine off. Sent the ECM to a genius in space to disable the VATS (Vehicle Anti Theft System), EGR crap, and set the speed governor to 250mph cause obviously thats how fast I'll be going. Still don't know what I'll be doing about my exhaust.

    Question: What is involved in going from external (clutch) slave cylinder to internal throwout bearing?

    I currently have the external slave, which is easier to service, and most people like. The problem is, that the external slave sits right where my driver's side exhaust pipe should be running. I don't know how to run exhaust when time comes with the external slave setup. Looking for some information/ideas.

    Breaking News!!!

    Got the car running.





    It dies almost instantly, and I'm working on figuring out what the deal is, but man am I glad to hear it fire. I think I'm going to have more issues with the fuel pump, might have to upgrade. Huge thanks to my friend John with the shop and know-how.
