- Background & Plans
- Plan is to sllowly makeit a race machine.. going in next week, brembo caliper rebuild kit w stainless pistons and high temp seals., vorshlag brake line extensions, Radium fuel system w fuel rails and pressure gauge 278 walbro pump. I also found this very early dyno run when it made 440 to the wheels before we cranked on the intake cam timing, but a huge cobra jet intake on and e85.. we have a very easy road race tune on it now with only 0.82 lambda and 21 degrees of timing. the only crazy thing is the amount of intake phaser advance - was worried about hitting the pistons so we stopped at 489. something HP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxoKYIwBLSU
