She put down a nice and safe 435whp today on the new engine/fuel system. Tuner at Innovative Motorworks in Carlisle PA (Derek) was absolutely excellent. He said the motor tuned like textbook, nothing weird or odd, totally normal.

Shes making 15psi at 8200rpms on 93 pump. We had to re-gap the plugs down to .024 as we were getting blowout. When we pulled the plugs they looked absolutely perfect.

 

Congrats! It's been a long journey! Any plans for e85?

 

 

Nice!!! It has gotta’ feel good.

 

Very nice!

 

Congratulations! They're great numbers! Really happy it all came together well for you!

 

Thanks all.. feels good to have it hold together for a good tune session!

 

Really happy to say that I drove the S yesterday for the first time in 7 months. Did some hard pulls with it, brought it home and pulled the plugs immediately. They look perfect. Also, I did a leakdown test and all cylinders were between 1.5-2% leakdown.

Unbelievable! I've never ever had a motor that healthy. My other fresh rebuilds were between 8-11% leakdowns after a only few miles on them/initial tune.

Feeling good about this one!

 

Way to go for seeing this through. You definitely earned a solid motor.
