i called my builder already and asked him why we went with 1.5 instead of 1.6 he was like huh? he said i was supposed to get 1.6 rollers instead of 1.5 they must sent them two me by mistake .. hes got all the parts he ordered coming directly to me so im glad you guys said something!!!!!!! i would have used them and not thought twice about it so thanks again ... so 1.6 gives it more lift and duration ? dam my cam is pretty big already hahah things gonna be a lopey ***** that's for sure ... the cam specs are 550 lift 280 /292 duration ... what will the 1.6 make it ???

hey quick question? the oil pressure unit .. doe that have a safety on it so when the oil pressure drops it cuts the fuel pump off to shut the motor down ? or aim i safe to run a mechanical pressure gauge ? i broke that pressure switch by accident (the only thing i broke during the whole project.. pretty good i think ahahah ) should i just replace that or can i screw in a mechanical one ...

Default hey guys

well sorry for the delay i started school at wyotech and i have had no time for anything but i did get my car wrapped up so i figured i would jump on here and finish up this thread .. im gonna put up some video me and a buddy of mine are gonna do it hes a computer guru so that will be shortly but i do have track times and dyno numbers to share ...

it layed down on the first run .. 396hp at the rear and 426 lbs of torque and the the second one it pulled 408hp and 431 lbs of torqe the third run it pulled 402hp and 429 lbs im very satisfied with my numbers im thinking procharger this summer hahah i tried to put my slip up but i don't have a scanner and taking a pic just wasn't working it was too bright hah but she ran on their first pass 11.65 then the scound pass i blew the tires on it and ran 12.10 then the third pass i hooked really good it was nice and warm and the track was sticky i ran a 11.45 so im happy with the results i need to get my reaction time up a bit and she could use a larger stall converter but this is my street car so i didnt go nuts on the stall, i will get some videos up shortly of it on the dyno and were going to the track this weekend and ima run her on the bottle and get it on film i didn't have it ran all the way last week i have a 125 shot on er now i wanna see what it will do on spray if the tires will hold it i doubt it tho or threar will greanede hahahh
