New Motor Built and Going In *vid added*

Re: New Motor Built and Going In
Car is done. So far has 30 miles on the new engine. Did a few vacuum pulls. Then did a few mild pulls at 0psi. Then did a few at 5, then did a few at 10. And made sure to let the engine wind itself down. Never really got up any higher then like 4500 rpms though. But she's running strong so far, and no leaks. I gotta readjust the clutch pedal. But other then that, working great. I think I'm going to buy a video camera today too. Some vids would be cool!

FFWD Head/cams, stock intake manifold, 50trim, 660's, aeromotive FPR, 255hp, safc2, keydiver chip, x-clutch, stock tranny(hoping to get it rebuilt this winter). Basically everything else is your typical supporting mods, which I'm sure you're plenty familiar with, no need to list it all. Getting a street tune this Monday, probably around 20 or so psi on pump. Last time I made 263 at 18psi on pump on a Dyno Dynamics which are known to read about 13% lower then Dynojets. They gave me a corrected number of 297, but meh, I don't like doing all that correction bullcrap. Anywho, that was before the head, cams, and new motor. So we'll see if I get up to 300 on pump. My goal is 400 on race. But we're running outta time up north here. So for now a street tune is all I plan on doing.

210 miles, and nothing has broke yet! Did the first oil change on it. Will change it again after 1000 miles, and then I'll switch over to synthetic and start changing it at regular intervals. I actually went ahead and decided to let her buck a little today and see how she feels at 18psi from a dig, and spun all 4 on the launch which was pretty interesting. I really need to fix my rear camber because I'm sure that's not helping that.

Well actually, I'm getting a pump gas tune tomorrow up at LSE after work, and my regular digital camera takes crappy little videos. So maybe I can ****** a quick crappy video of it on the dyno tomorrow and post it up here.

Re: New Motor Built and Going In
Well just got back from LSE. Wish I had a video to share with you guys, but the car never got tuned. They got it on the dyno, strapped down, the whole shabang. And that's when they noticed that their wideband took a ----. So nothing got done, and I leave on a work trip tomorrow. So hopefully once I get back, the snow will still be holding off, and I can get this thing freaking tuned before winter hits.

Just a quick video since some people wanted to see some footage. Nothing special.
