After 3 long months the L is ready to roll early next week. My problem is I am freaking scared to stomp on it again after what happen last time around (threw a rod). Here is what I have done this time around...any words of wisdom would be nice.....

Built block (JLP), 8lb lower, Ported s/c, JLP delta chip, FTVB, Airade,S/blade thottle body (JLP), Nitrous Express - 50 shot, JLP traction bars and drive shaft loop, Stage 2 cams (JLP), cobra r w/pump, e/fan, Denzo IT-22 plugs, Nitto 555Rs on the back & Nitto 555's on the front .

LMAO.........just what are you saying????

 

I think he called you a *******... In a nice way.

 

I'm slipping.

 

You think???? After $10,000+ I can take the pu**y comment. But thanks for pointing out the obvious Leanne!!

 

Sounds like a great build up. What did he suggest for break in? A trip to the strip

So did you get any head work? Do you have headers?

That thing is gonna haul. Keep us posted as to your progress.

 

Unfortunately my Amex maxed out and the one thing I didn't do were the heads.
In regards to break in, I have been told these newer engines aren't like the old blocks where you had to wait 3,000 miles to let the thing loose. Now, it is almost plug and play right away....or is there a break in period?

 

Well I am getting a JDM motor (Should be here soon )
I was told no break in required
Like you it's goona be hard to nail a new motor haha....but big fun

 

Very hard...just have to get through that first WOT without anything going boom...then i can

I hope to hear a change in sound too...don't know what to expect...especially with the stage 2 cams??

 

You know, John Wayne would have told you if you get thrown, to get right back on that horse and ride again. Don't make John Wayne think you're scared. Ride that horsey!

 

Check fuel pressure,Dyno the monster for sure/check a/f

 

JW's real first name was Marion.

 

With 20 psi or so of total boost pressure, I would have gone with IT 24's or NGK BR7EF's. I don't think those IT22's are 'cold' enough for that extra pressure.

Sal recommended the BR7EF's for my 15 psi of boost pressure...............they have been super.
