      15 minutes from this...



      To this...



      And that included taking the hood off and putting it back on and lining it up.

      I might have just a bit too much practice at this...

      Headers and transmission in place...



      Good thing I don't do this for a living, I'd go broke.

      Only small parts left on the table now, hopefully the rest goes pretty quick and pain free.

      Had to make another run to Speedway this afternoon to get another fitting to finish the fuel line up, then it freaking leaked a little bit anyway. I strategically placed a few fire extinguishers around and fired it off anyway...and it hit and fired off on the first hit of the key. Took a quick look around and topped off the coolant, then shut it down to wait for my neighbor Mark to get there. Then we fired it back off and he held it up around 2,000 RPM for 20 minutes or so while I watched for leaks runs, drips or errors and fire...



      It sounds awesome and seems to be super smooth. I marked the intake and distributor before taking it apart and basically just put the distributor right back on the marks and it seems pretty dang close. No hint of smoke out the exhaust, cooling system works perfectly, hot idle oil pressure is almost double what it was before...and no strange noises...so far I'm very happy.

      Now I get to re-do the fuel line, then put the shifter in and make sure the clutch is all good...then put a timing light on it and dial that in...then it's time to hit the streets!!!

      First drive in the books! All good...

      Man does is accelerate smoother now. I've had people tell me before it vibrated under acceleration but I've always just thought that's how it is. Now I know what they were talking about. It is SO much smoother than before.

      Power is good, I didn't beat on it too hard but enough to realize it's spiking lean on hard tip in and waits until fuel catches up before it takes off like a banshee. I've already sent the logs and file to the tuner and we'll get that cleaned up right quick. It's making a bit less vacuum at idle, so pulling fuel out there and adding a TON of fuel at WOT middle RPM range. We had the comp % limited to 15% since the last tune was so dialed in, he adjusted that out also to help dial it in.

      Email just came in with new tune. Time to upload it and go drive again!!

      2nd tune got it much closer. Its still asking for more fuel 3500-5000 rpm at WOT...which is good because that means its making more power there.

      All else still great. I'll nut and bolt everything tomorrow and drop another tune in it...then maybe take some video.

      Oh, and now my injectors vibrate my dash instead of my floor...

      I have about 100 miles on the new build so far, tuning has gone well and the new install bugs all seem to be worked out. Very happy with it so far. It is much smoother now thanks to the great balance and it winds up a bit faster than before.

      That's awesome Lance! Did you change the cam while it was apart to a different grind? Or is the extra power just because it has compression in all of the cylinders? Haha

      Thats just cold man...

      Same cam, just a bit more compression, bit more dwell due to rod length change, bit lighter rotating assembly and much smoother balance which let's it rev up much quicker and easier.

      I had my car out on the road yesterday. Weather finally broke and we had mid 70s yesterday morning. I have to say, the new engine LOVED the cooler weather. :D

      After the drive I sent my tuner Andrew the GCF and in true Andrew fashion, he liked what he saw but wanted to "try" a few things differently. He monkeyed around with the air temp enrichment, the AE vs TPS table and some stuff via teamviewer live on the idle. It was fun to mess with it again, been too long since weather was good enough to enjoy tinkering on it.

      Today the plan is to pull the oil filter and run it over to the builder so he can cut open and analyze. Hopefully it's all good and I can put a new filter on, top off the Valvoline VR1 20W50 racing oil and go racing next weekend. I'm registered to run local SCCA event on Sept 20.

      Any time Andrew calls me and says he has an idea I get excited. Nobody is as dedicated as he is to learning more all the time to help his customers.

      Looking forward to seeing you at AMP next weekend!

      Speaking of which, we should do a quick TeamViewer session...
