Thats why the motor had pull brackets on it stock.

As for the tune: use the right maf file, check your fuel pressure, use flow charts from injectors, insert correct offset data.

If you do that, the tune should be pretty close.

i have a member from Daytona coming down to Tampa to tune it when i get to that stage.

depending on how long the Machine shop and my Painter takes this project SHOULD be done by the end of Jan 2012, then we are throwing a Florida GP meet.

Engine's out.. Block is off to the machine shop in the morning. and the car is off to paint.

Dude, he can do what he wants, if he wants those parts then let him get them. People who buy these parts keep those companies in business, in return people still have jobs. Gotta keep the economy moving in any way it can be done.

Kudos Brother, looks like this will be a fun car when its done, you still have the aluminum heads right?

[Bio248]

im interested to see the end results, but havent heard of anyone needing to go that far. that's all im getting at.

EGR block off can be had for two cents and some RTV...I'd love to know how much a machine shop charges to fill the port in the LIM/Header.

Also, reason for the JE pistons? Are you running mad amounts of boost? Like...20+? Otherwise...could have saved tons of coin there and kept the stockers and just had them hot tanked...they are great pistons.

What compression ratio did you end up getting?

I'm aware of the penny RTV trick, and ill let you know how much they charge to fill the holes.

JE pistons and L32 rods because i want a strong bottom end that can take some punishment.

plus my last L67's pistons and rods took a ****
