Gee Im slack ( update )
Well 21 dec 2006
I fired up my new engine for the first time.
Ran in the cam for 30 mins at 3000rpm ( did probably 3*10 minutes runs )
Everything was well so it was time to run in the engine.
I made the mistake of using a stock stall convertor and it was a pig down low
but I put up with ( shifting to neutral ) whenever i stopped as it wouldn't idle at all.
( Not that you should idle a new engine ) it would stall instantly so idling wasnt a issue
After a week of driving around varing the load etc. it was time to install the 3000rpm high stall
ahhh now she idles when i stop at the lights.
She idles at about 900rpm with a nice lump in gear and about 1100 in neutral anything less and the engine wants to jump out of the bay.. sounds very nice and goes pretty hard.
Im still to take her down the 1/4 ( small oil leak ) not rear main and need to get a helmet.
She has taken out a new WRX a VL turbo and some Porche sofar.
Should be good for low 14's at the moment as I cant get any traction off the line.
Even with 305 50 15's they are so so old and hard but look the part.
I wanna getsome MT sportsmans or Street Radials maybe go 275/60/15 28inch tall if they fit.
Still got some tuning to do ( its hard with only club reg ) but easy with wide band o2 sensor display and laptop logging. tune was good until i install 3 inch system. now she leans out a bit up top.
Im so close to pissing off the carby and setting up the EFI everything is there surge tank new fuel lines and return wiring computer etc. jut wanna drive it a bit b4 i pullit apart again.
having fun hey charger !!!
