2.8 on the road & pics
Ok, 60 miles of no boost driving so far, can't really give any impressions yet, but will post back soon after more miles.

WOW!!!!!! That looks great! I'm picking up my car on friday and taking it to a show in ocean city. If everything goes well I'll drive it back here on monday. When I get it back I'll email you to see if we can get together. One question, did you say you were running no boost or just reduced boost? I think I'm going to be running 10psi through out the brake in. I know our engines are different, but how do you keep it from going rich with no boost? It realy looks great!!!

It looks like I need to take a trip down to TN to see both of these 2.8's at some point and time. Dave the car looks great, and I hope you get that motor broken in so you can finaly enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Keep us updated.....

Thanks Guys,
Chris, just short shift and keep the rpm's low and you get no boost, my wide band O2 is staying around 14.5-14.8. I will run this way about 200 miles and then run about 10 psi boost to 2000 miles and then <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" /> <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />
PorscheG96, nice clear tank
One thing I can comment on is the SFR 3" exhaust tone, this is one bad a$$ sounding 4 cylinder, No coffee can fart pipe here

[quote] How much did the 2.8 cost? Did you have to supply the engine and if you did how long did it take? <hr></blockquote>
I suplied what was left of my blown engine and not much was good.
Pistons where a hold up for a long long time.
Cost, I will take the 5th
