Default First Start After 2 years

If it post correctly....Vimeo vid

https://vimeo.com/88318805

New DME and KLR repair by ECU DRs in Ft Lauderdale, ohm'd out harness before putting everything together. I had to change the crank per some faulty machine shop work; the oil pressure now, when warm even on 5/30 (start up) was 3.5 bar. Oil pressure problem solved, headed to the dyno when I get back home in two weeks. Short video but great start and even IDLE!!

Thanks gents. Hope to dyno in two weeks, check the tune. I'm hoping for 365-370 on this one. John M, when he got these pistons, had a consistent 10-13 hp gain on all his builds. He thought is was from the symmetry of the dish instead of being offset but he also said he couldn't be sure. The car also has complete lightweight pulleys/gears and BS delete on it. The car was tuned just a bit on the rich side last time and made 351/348@17psi. I'm going to try to get close to 365 with 17 and then maybe an 18psi run. I'm going to rent they dyno for half a day, put some miles on the motor, cool down, then dyno.
