    I was gonna do that, but I decided to bag my suspension first! What did all the LCE parts cost? They charge a grip for their stuff.

    It all depends on what you want from them.

    What I was asking is... How much did you pay LC Engineering for the set-up that you put in your truck?

    dont think he was getting defensive.... just asking hat wires yer talking about cus his is carbed so it dont have a wiring harness like the efi. and since he dont have the stock carb and intake that small wiring harness is all gone now too. there's no wire tucking involved here, ,just wire elimination. :waytogo:

    from what ive seen....... their heads hover in the range of $3000 for a NICE high output head, port work, and cam.... their sidedraft kits run somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200-1500 bucks....... if that gives you a ballpark estimate. :waytogo:

    like previously mentioned..... check the obvious...... make sure its getting enough fuel. make sure its getting spark, then air. if it has all those, you may have adjusted them out of sync too much while running it and it unbalanced the cylinder mix enough to make it miss and kill it.

    fuel.

    spark.

    air.

    check all that (preferably in that order) then get back to us. :waytogo:

    Thanks for the help. It was something simple, like it wasn't getting enough fuel after i put on a fuel pressure gauge. Don't I feel stupid lol.. Well I will post more pics of my new work soon. Just got some new parts in, Can't wait to put them on and show you all my progress. Thanks every one.
