Start of a mess...

In my eyes this is the perfect build quality. you haven't gone too deep into any one direction to restrict yourself from using the car to it's full potential. It's the perfect street car capable of also attending car shows and race events with ease, the exact standard I'm striving to achieve.
Can't wait to see you put some miles on it

Thanks for asking for me.

No problem!

You described exactly what I was going for here. I am looking forward to getting to know her a little better and having some fun. Unfortunately, that will have to wait a little longer. I took her to the dyno yesterday and as we hooked up, started to get some codes for cylinders 3 & 7 not firing, then 1 went. We started chasing the problem down after we got the car home and my pocket was $500 lighter. Looks like the wires pulled from the clip going to the odd side coil harness. We are going to repin those today and hopefully that clears up the issues and then back to the tuner.

Was able to fix the plug and now it is firing with no codes. Got to take it for a quick ride around the neighborhood, but it definitely needs a tune. Trying to get in touch with a tuner that is closer to where I live, as the place I went yesterday is about 2 hours away. I was referred to a guy by the name of Mark Roman in the Sacramento area, but open to anyone else's suggestions, if you know of anyone. Felt good to drive something that was 2.5 years in the making!

Yeah it's nice to get all the bugs worked out and u know it's just going to be fun. I know how u feel on driving it for the first time my build was 8 years. Good luck and have a blast

[Senek67RS]

Got it on the dyno today to see what we were looking at and it needed a tune, it was running pretty lean. A lot more fun to drive now hahaha

Stats- Max Power 566.2 @ 6321 RPM
Max Torque 526.0

Wheel Values- HP 477.8 @6335 RPMs
TQ 444.6

Nice numbers! Sounds good too.

[Senek67RS]

Nice numbers! Sounds good too.

Thanks, Wayne! I am happy, but already thinking about some AFR heads and a cam swap🤣🤣🤣. Going to drive it a bit more and see where we end up.

[John McIntire]

What a great feeling, congrats!!!

[Senek67RS]

What a great feeling, congrats!!!

It did feel pretty good. I will be happy when I get the suspension fully tuned/ corner balanced. I feel like I am riding with a blown shock and all spring right now haha. That is scheduled for next Wednesday and then it will be on to whatever other gremlins we find.

[John McIntire]

Been some time....how's it going?

[Senek67RS]

Been some time....how's it going?

Got the suspension done, but just trying to work out some kinks. Been thinking hard about some additional power lol

Where did you get the car corner balanced? It looks like you are in the Bay Area, so am I. Car looks awesome.

Can always go for more power!

I chatted with you a while ago, I am also from San Mateo, but moved to El Dorado Hills. There is a place up here in Sac called, TBR Garage. They did the dyno tune there, as well as the corner balancing. Good shop that I would recommend without hesitation.

Well, I had been contemplating on what direction I wanted to go for more power. Opted to just go with a ported LSA blower, BTR Stage 3 Cam, Titanium Valve Springs, Brass Trunion upgrade, pushrods, new Wegner front drive.

Had to change my front drive, as the Drive Junky High Mount AC wouldn't work with the LSA Blower. Swapped the cam today, am halfway done with the valve springs, and should hopefully finish those up by tomorrow, or sometime this week. Good feeling to have parts going back on at this point.

Have been running the valve covers from Shaun's Custom Alloy with coil relocation brackets on the back of the block, but I am thinking of running the Wegner valve covers and
just hiding the coils on the valve covers. Haven't been able to figure out a way to run the plug wires that I like, or that looks clean.

[SinisterSpeed]

Nice work, I just can't get over the interior!

[dmc69]

Beautiful build!!! The interior is perfect!

You're going to love the LSA supercharger! What a great upgrade.
