I wish you the best of luck Wes. I want you to become a Street whore again.

 

The Mike Simon short block has arrived (at Autologic, so no pics yet). I had Autologic take the head to their machine shop just to make sure it's 100%, it should be coming back today or Monday. Due to the time restrictions (Jason will be going out of town on the 20th of November and won't be back until after the new year) we've decided to put the car back in the hands of Autologic since they have more time to work on the car than Marcelo does. This wasn't the case when the original failure happened but many things have changed since then, including the type of work needed to be done (engine rebuild versus just installing a built block). So, I'm working with Marcelo to get all the parts and the car to Autologic so that they can get things rolling as early as this Monday. I'm going to be out of town (Disney World) the week of the 9th through the 16th so the car will probably be finished, broken in, then tuned by Autologic while I'm taking pictures of Mickey. It will be nice if everything works out and I get to come home to a completed car.

 

Good luck, Wes!

 

hurry up so we can take pics (hardtop club) j/k

good luck wes

 

gluck man.. should be interesting to see what she does w/ that simon block

 

Excellent news! I hope to see you (and ME) back on the streets in the near future.

 

For a while she won't do anything more than what I did on the stock block. My 440cc injectors are really close to being tapped out. Until I go larger I can't really go crazy (350-400whp) with the car.

 

how much are bigger injectors? (sorry for the dumb question)

 

Not much, (about $89 each) but it will take some experimenting to see if the eManage is able to handle the injectors. The manual says it can only go up to 50% larger than OEM. So, the most it can handle is 540cc. Jason has some ideas but I would rather drive the car for a while before doing anymore experimenting.

 

Congrats on the progress Wes.

Have a great time in Florida.
