I finally got this thing together and running. Final numbers after SQR tuning and rebuilt tranny and converter through cats. SAE

Max. RWHP - 475
Max. RWT - 421

Thanks to Billy, Scott and Daniel @ SQR. A job well done. The car feels awesome.

 

Now I'm waiting on some LCA's, Torque arm and panhard rod. Then it's time to go to the track with the new motor. I'll try Kennadale first.

 

395? whats the combo

 

That thing would have to run hard with those kind of numbers for an A-4 and that stall. Congrats. How streetable with that cam and a SD tune?

The block is the original stock 5.7L block with a lot of machine work to accept the 4.125" crank and the rest of the kit. I'm not sure what the length of the rods were but I think someone else can jump in and let you know. All I remember is they were pretty long and the pistons were really short.

 

Surprisingly, it is very streetable now that SQR has got it all tuned. It's a little rough on cold starts sometimes but once warmed up it starts and idles fine.

 

stock bore? good luck with it

 

Yes it has the stock bore.

 

Very Impressive for a Auto. WOW, My car is at SQR as well, I have the Black Formula on TTII rims powder Coated Black. I just went with a Forged 348 Short Block. I am impressed with your numbers. Was your converter Locked or Unlocked on those numbers,

Speed Density means you don't use the MAF anymore then I take it. Also how is your 4L60E holding up to that kind of power. Is your trans stock.

Congrats on your new Combo. Look Foward to meeting you.

SEBLS1 - The converter was locked and you're right about the MAFS. Speed density tunes don't use the MAFS. The tranny is a stock tranny rebuilt with better parts by SQR's tranny guy. So far everything is holding up good but I haven't hit the track yet.
