just spent 2 hrs reading your entire post bad6as, all to be left w/ the cliff hanger of this story to a broken timing chain! haha get that thing fixed, fantastic build!
Well good news i think for now. I got it part way apart. the chain is broken but the cam spins and all the lifters move as well. i did find a valve thats stuck open. so im not sure if it bent a valve or the valve seized and thats what caused the motor to lock up. keeping fingers crossed for the cheapest fix.
BTW - Randomly got hooked up with Brian Tooley to buy some springs. He was like "your cam sounds familiar, did you get it from Justin?" Haha small world.
back from the dead. shes running great had some boost creep so i added a second wastegate and she holds boost great now. some fun pulls with a new stout boosted 5.0
data logs show that run i stared in 2nd around 3500 and then shifted at 5500 and the stayed in third till 5500.
aprox 50 to 130 mph in about 5.5 seconds ait was 120* (no intercooler just meth)
12* timing 12psi
Been following your car for awhile, do you have any updates on it?
I forgot about this.
I made the change from meth only to air to water. Not that I had any issues with the meth I just wanted something more proven and predictable over 15lbs.
How ever on 15lbs boost and 12° timing it taped 153 mph
It now has a holley high ram and 417 motorsports intercooler.
Custom built chiseled ice box with internal pump.
Few small touches to the dash with some carbon fiber and I added a fuel level gauge.
I also installed two sensors to read oil and fuel pressure so I can log thoes along with afr with hptuners.
Also I now use the front abs ring as my vss.
And lastly I bought some double adjustable rear shocks. And did some suspension measure and plotting and found that my teamz relocated upper control arms were actually hurting me not helping. My car is to low first them to work as they should. And that's probably been my issue for a hell of a long time. It would spin every time 20ft off the launch. Parts are on the way to fix that.
