Car is running!!!

Postby tbot » Tue May 22, 2012 9:14

My car is running! Got it started up yesterday and took it home just to get miles on it to break in the motor. Here's a list of what I did:

Pauter Rods
Weisco Pistons (20 over)
CP-e injector seals
Autoworks HPFP internals
BSD Kit/Oil Baffle
New Crank (old one had a scored rod journal)
Full valve job (3 valves weren't sealing properly)
Minor head work
Custom air cooled oil cooler (ditched the stock liquid cooled one)
Spin on oil filter
Custom FMIC
ACT 6 Puck Clutch with Streetlite FW

Plus everything else that I've already done.

This fall I think I'm going to a Precision 6031 and shoot for high HP numbers!!!

Thats a ton of work. Look forward to hearing even more about it once you have it broken in and tuned.

Enjoy all that hard work!
