482 / Ebrock heads / TW / Holley 600's no choke / TKX / 500 hp.
1 pump and hold it to the floor and it fires instantly. It will idle at about 500 / die for the first 10 - 20 seconds so I feather it at 1000-1200 rpm. Then it's enough to back it out of the garage and down the driveway (idling at about 700) and start driving carefully down the street. But usually I just feather it until the temp starts coming up. 2-3 mins aand just go. I don't get my normal 900 rpm idle until it's pretty much up to temp. (180)
Today I fired it up and immediately starting driving after sitting for 3 hours. No muss no fuss.
