Watching this build from the beginning its crazy where it has come. I honestly would have given up long time ago with some of the setbacks you have had. But if there wernt people who didnt push like you then records would never be broken. Its cool to see you stick with the LSX vs just ordering a cookie cutter big block setup.

Don't worry, I'll let you know how well a Hemi performs in ODR...

We will see. If it performs as planned, yes it will hurt some feelings. @ 2750 it should go 6s but who knows.

I always thought a mag generated its own spark and didn't need a coil?! Car is looking great Phil, not put that thing on a track!!!

I fired it up yesterday and with only changing the mag44, the A/F went from 4.5:1 at idle to 3.9:1 at idle and it no longer spits fuel while its cold. Going to get it buttoned up and hit the track next week.

No, I can't get the car to fire on the BS3. Been working on it all day trying to figure out whats going on. For some reason, the RPMs are jumping all over the place while its cranking using the BS3 to trigger the mag. Once I figure out the erratic RPM problem I think it will be fine.

I have had trouble with a 8973 box keeping the mag from firing and I pluged the Mag back into itself and tool out the 8973. It fired up just fine so I knew it was a problem with the timming box "8973". Never used the BS3 to manage the Mag44 so not sure what your problem is but take it out of the loop to fire the engine and that will make sure the rest of the Mag setup, "points box, coil, and Mag" is not a problem

f**king just figured it out. The pink wire on the BS3 was getting a dirty signal and was causing all the issues. With the pink wire hooked directly to the battery, all of the issues go away.
