    good thing you did shut it off before the cylinder heads started to get too hot. cold air on open valves once shut off is a BAD thing ;)

    Hard to tell, but sounds like it is idling high.

    Good thing you didn't warp those valves running without any headers the first time. Coulda screwed that thing up on the first startup...

    I just started hooking things back up/together again. I haven't adjusted anything just yet. I want to get more things put together and then I'll start making adjustments. Thanks for listening to the video!

    sounds great, glad your paint is ok. The engine compartment looks pretty sweet.
