Congrates on the new motor. A good tuner can be hard to find. I'm lucky having one of the best tuners in the country just 30 miles away. James from RWTD.

Sorry to hear about the motor blowing. There was just a thread a few weeks back I recall of a guy claiming he could not find a single whipple blowing an engine, but his key term was with the supplied whipple tune. It looks like this tuning shop did you wrong.

DAYUM!!! I gotta get one of those Steeda belt drives for my upcoming Whipple install. Mad Max came to mind when I saw the opening shot of your video. That Whipple and Steeda belt drive is just too sick!

Sorry to hear about your blow up but nice job on the rebuild.
Of course, given that you had the motor out and stripped, I should get on a plane and come slap you in the face for refitting those uglyass valve covers without coating or painting them first of course... But hey

Hope you have a great many fun filled miles with the new lump
