Pistons are here and the motor is back together. Just need to lash the rockers and install. Game plan is to dyno it this weekend and get the tuneup dialed in.

Fired it up today and did some tuning, going to dyno this week. It no longer runs confused, fires quick and seems to make more torque as it pulls to the revlimiter very easy with lean A/F.

Looks like I am going to hit the dyno saturday. Got it fired up and runs like a top. Makes boost soo much quicker now its not really funny. Before it would take a good solid 3.5-4 seconds to make 5.5# of boost on the transbrake. Now it will make 10# in less than 2.6 seconds. Did some transition and idle tuning, just need to clean the old heap up and head to the dyno.
