first time out in over 3 years.
well. we finally got my car together this past week. took it to the dyno on friday and then drove it back to the shop. this was the first time sitting behind the wheel under its own power in over 3 years. I have to relearn the whole car from front to back. i didn't make quite the power i was looking for due to some ignition issues. car started to break up over 16 psi on the dyno so we just settled for 16 psi for now. still made around 450ish rwhp.
drove her down to silver dollar with all my guys at zen and did a few passes. with each pass, i got a little better. i ended up running a 12.6 at about 115mph. she had more in her but i had to turn the boost down a little due to the colder weather which caused some boost spiking. im sure i could have got it down a little more, but we ran into some complications with my new 8 pot brake set up.
overall, im very content with the outcome. looking forward to fixing the small bugs and putting in a race gas tune. its sooooooooooooo nice to know that i have a running car again and that she didn't blow up on the dyno or the track. this is the very first block i have ever put together so for it to hold under all this beating, i feel blessed.
