29412, She's Alive ;-)
Posted by Super20G, Aug-19-02 10:49 AM
After months of reworking shit, fixing shit, and rebuilding the tranny, she's 100% back and ready to go on the prowl. Only tuned for 15psi right now, but i'll be reworking the rest of the fuel map so i can crank it back up. The engine is much more efficient with the port work and bored tb, so its going lean on the top end, no prob though, the squirters have plenty more to be realeased ;-)Good luck greg with your breakin, and the rest of you, seems like most of the board is rebuilding some way shape or form now.

You going to hook up with a dyno or track?

I'll probably make it to the dyno to tune the fuel map, ignition, and cam gears sometime in the near future, I have no job though, so I cant throw money at it. So I am gonna tune a little too rich to be safe, I cant afford expensive fixes for awhile.

Glad to hear it Brad. I got a big jump on my break-in mileage by driving it to Indy the day after we put it back together. Talk about confidence. So far, no problems (fingers crossed). I'm going to check compression this weekend and if all looks well, then up goes the boost!
