SLP 402, AFR 205, TSP MS3, Rapid Tuning 508.7 rwhp, 489 rwt
AFRs were cut .035 for 11.6
Mods include Edelbrock stepped longtubes, ORY, Fast 90 intake and TB, SLP MAF, SLP lid, 4.10 gear, SVO 30#
This thing smokes like crazy. I hope it is unseated rings and that it'll go away, but I'm very concerned.
I'll see if Mikey can post the graph.

Based on some earlier threads, I think he bought the complete shortblock from SLP and had Mike at Rapid install the top end... I could be wrong though... the power is great but the smoking ain't!

Put her in 3rd gear and roll down the highway and go from about start at about 50mph to about 75 and keep going back and forth( or in other words from about 2500 rpm to 4500 or 5000).

Hello all,
I would hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if I see ANY more than a little puff right at initial fire up, there is grounds for concern. Every engine that I have seen anyone purchase that smokes more than that hardly ever "seals up", but try to look for any indicators of blowby like exessive pressure in the crankcase and the like and if there is, do a leakdown to check the ring seal, if the leakdown gauge reads more 10% try to get your money back! The thing is once the engine has been dynoed, it is for all common purposes broke in. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR MISSION.

great numbers.. good luck on finding the smoking problems.. its most likely the rings.. on a fresh motor i can't say i'm suprised.. call SLP and see what they say.. see if they'll warranty it if it has bad compression (good luck)
