After several months of being down, the motor is in and the car actually runs. It's been delayed by part shortages several times that were frustrating. I'm hoping for 525 rwhp on pump gas and closer to 600 on 100 octane. We will see. A base tune will be done tomorrow and then the car will driven around 150-200 miles with final tuning at the end for street driving, along with the 100 octane tune.

For thoise who don't recall my ordeal, click below.

cool
what's the size of the motor?

Simon1

He said 282. I don't know if he meant 281 or not. I think the lower compression pistons gave it an extra CI, not sure and don't care. I got the stock CI for longevity.

Fuel system is good 750 or so and the motor is good to that or beyond. He has another motor the same as mine, with billet rods. 800 + rwhp with a non-locking 4r70w. So the motor should be good for whatever I throw at it.

Finally! Got the Clutchmasters Twin Disk? How is it?
I figure when the one I have dies (seems good so far....) I'll go that route if his CNC machine is up and running!!

I took advantange of the Mcloud RST deal and got a twin disc for $650. Everyone seems to love it so we will see.

I'm looking at flights right now.
