Another look...

looks sweet

 

thats so funny.. almost exactly what I'd expect it to sound like.. Turbo psi? Power? totally useless without that.

 

Jesus...were you wearing ear pro?

 

I’ll let the owner decide on what more he would like to post for data – While the peak output was pretty impressive, the HP at 9psi was really cool – I will say that it made over 335 rwhp @ 9psi!

Hearing protection…eh? What?....yes, most definitely. Right next door they were running a small block Chevy on the engine dyno 780hp at 7krpm…it made us sound kind of quite!

 

Very nice. Look forward to seeing some on track video too.

 

5 or 6 speed transmission?

 

Looks good. Looking forward to numbers.

Is that a SFR intake for the 16v head?

 

Very nice. Sounds like it revs pretty quickly

 

Way to go with the 16V. Let's hear about the numbers and the TQ curve as well...

 

we need numbers!!!!!

 

Thanks for the help tuning her up Chris. Ear plugs will be on order. My head is still resonating..
I’m really happy with the outcome. The fact that it actually runs is a huge relief. Having it exceed what I expected makes the headaches I went through putting it together all worth while.
As for the peak numbers. Is it all that important? It’s just a number printed on a sheet. I can tell you I like it much better then any 8V I had, and the power band/curve is sweet for a track car . The in car video will be much more interesting and telling.

 

Very nice John

 

Is this an MID motor? Was it originally a 2.5 or 3.0 block?
