It is 99.999% done. 


The tuner sent me this comparison between the old motor with quiet exhaust and now but it is one of the earlier runs before we got 302 TQ.



He said he is out of the shop until Wednesday and will email me the rest of the charts then.


The @#*! cutout wouldn't open. He thinks there are at least 15 hp & 20 lbs there.


grrrrrrrrrrrrr


I just fixed it. All I did was open the compartment it's wiring is under and look at it and it worked. I checked my wiring and nothing was loose. I re did it anyway. 


It is 11.01 so even if I wanted to only low boost SC would be possible. I really want to be done.


There are as many break in procedures & opinions as stars in the sky.

I am not a mechanic but the people that put the motor together and the tuner that has built lots of motors agreed it was acceptable to do it on the dyno.

He spent 20 minutes going through all rev ranges not staying at any rpm for long, letting it cool down until he said it was done. Then we changed the oil and he tuned it.
