Thanks Mark. I think that may be the plan to break it in. I just have to get the towing\trailer logistics down (sold my tow truck and have not replaced yet)

Just got some new pictures!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1099323341.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1099323358.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1099323367.jpg

Nice! So how do you plan on getting the "tow" thing sorted out??

I may just be throwing a hitch on the company car (shhhh. do not tell my boss) for the time being. Then pick something up in the off season.

That's the best solution I've heard.

Dude "Throw on a hitch" Please not the kind that u Haul hooks to the bumper. Car might end up in a ditch

I ordered a real class 3/4 hitch. No worries. Just have to find a way to expense it :)

You can use my other trailer....... You can expense that too.
Only $220 to use it..... Hey maybe we can trade for something?????

LOL

One more pic before the shroud (It is being painted black) goes on.

Nice Chad
 

Well Chad,

Your 2.5L has about 57 more HP then my 2.0L and you are about 100 lbs. Lighter then me as well.


This should make for a fun race in Buttonwillow.

What was JP's Motor putting out????

JP was busy and could not come. 57 more HP? Won't believe it unless I see it :) (Wink)

OK. Maybe 55 more HP.

I have 162 at the rear wheels. with 158 ft lbs. of torque.

My stock, tired, 2.0S engine made 130 RWHP on a Dynojet. Those are some impressive numbers you guys are getting.

TT

Beautiful motor and some impressive numbers. Congratulations!

Do you think the dip at 4400 can be improved with jetting or is it just the nature of the engine design? i.e. 2.5L, GE80, and large ports.

Thanks-
I asked the same question to the motor builder who was there with his car. It's just the aggressive cams causing that. They are getting ready to start their magic. Since this is a race motor..... I am never at 4400 RPM and never notice it.

Chad,
You set the bar high.

Thanks Chad!
This may be out of your area of expertise, but would this be compatable with a 2.2 S MFI system?
Dave

I know nothing about MFI except that my old 2.2S mfi system had a mind of it's own :). Should work if you have the pump changed/worked on.
