Well new update. We played with it for a bit tonight now that the cam timing is set to where it should be. Still having an issue with blow by though. Car's intercooler probably had a quart of oil through it, lol. But I wanted to see exactly where we stood after getting the timing belt in the right position. So we decided just to do a couple pulls to see where it was at.

I pulled a bunch of timing out, richened up the air fuels just to be on the safe side. I really did not want to push the car, I just wanted to see generally where we were at now that the cams were correct. Last time the most Doug could get out of it before calling it quits was 409 hp. This time, with 10.7:1 AFR's and about 5-6 degrees of timing pulled from where it was before, it made 450 AWHP on Topspeeds dyno at 25 psi+-. What a HUGE difference 1 tooth of cam timing can make! Of course this was also with oil coating the intercooler...reducing the thermal efficiency of the intercooler, lowering the octane of the fuel and generally not being any where NEAR optimal.

While I was a little disappointed when it showed up with all the oil in the intake, I am really getting excited. I really hope that after we pull some fuel out of it, get all the CRAP out of the intercooler and add a couple pounds of boost back into it, it will break 500hp. Remember...this is a built bottom end, but no head work at all. Stock valves, stock cams, no port or polish....just a STOCK set of heads! Also the intake manifold is just a plain jane Sti intake.
