Congrats on the numbers. I used to travel up there on business so I know where Lisbon is. Only wish I had a 295 north of Freeport to let it out. My brother is in Falmouth so I know 295 south of freeport is where I go but the road is pretty busy nowadays. My nephews say theres a set up supra looking for me but he's never shown up

Get 0 guage wire to something like maybe a battery charger clamp, ground it to the wall, someing metal and this will take care of the problem. Saw it here at the dyno I used. Ground is Ground, make a better one.

WOW! didn't mean to cause all of this commotion! Honestly, if I had known from the beginning that Don could have built my new setup from the ground up, I WOULD have gone with him, hands down. That was my mistake for not doing enough research. Don't get me wrong, I love the new engine, and LME has been top notch in their customer service and the build process, but it would have been nice to save that $480 freight charge, and have someone local build it who would know the engine inside and out. Don has been great throughout this whole build, despite some shortcommings on my part during the process. My goal was to hit 450RWHP and 410 RWTQ, and I am really not that far off. I believe the things Don mentioned, UD pulley, ported FAST, etc would get me to At least my goal. I tried to build a powerful DD on a budget that would be reliable. I am not trying to squeeze every last pony out of the thing. I am more than satisfied with every aspect of this build. I have ordered my TSP catted-Y and SLP LM II and should be getting it put on next week. Who knows, that may even help out, if you could see the bends on my X-pipe you would understand!
BrentC5R - Do you still come up this way at all? That is quite a mean setup you have, would be awesome to see it. I have seen a couple of Supras up here, both at F1 dyno in portland, which is now closed. One was fairly ratty but made HUGE numbers (800 RWHP +) and another that was show quality and down in the 400's. Maine staties are usually pretty cool in regards to nice cars, even the one who wrote my ticket is a snowmobile racer who complimented the car, just told me I need to be legal. But you really can have a good time up here, if you know where to play.
