8. Reassembly and Final Check
A. Reconnect the battery.
B. Check all fittings, nuts, bolts and clamps for
tightness. Pay particular attention to the oil
and fuel lines, especially around moving
parts, sharp edges and exhaust headers.
Make sure all wires and lines are properly
secured with clamps or tie-wraps.
C. Check all fluid levels, making sure that your
fuel tank is filled with 91 octane or higher
fuel before test driving.
D. Start the engine and allow to idle for a few
minutes, then shut the engine off.
E. Recheck to be sure that no hoses, wires,
etc are near exhaust headers or moving
parts and for signs of fluid leakage.
F. Test drive the vehicle. Listen for any signs
of detonation (pinging). If detected, discon-
tinue hard use (no boost) until the problem
is resolved.
WARNING: Operating the vehicle without all the
sub-assemblies completed and prop-
erly installed, may cause FAILURE OF
MAJOR COMPONENTS.
WARNING: Custon ECM calibration by a competent
tuner is suggested before operation at
