Default Does it ever end?


So I finally get 400 installed and running a couple of days ago. As I was fighting the dipstick (lokar junk btw), I accidentally ripped out the MAP wires, and of course it immediately wouldn't run. Can any of you guys tell by this pic where the purple and black wires go? I'm thinking the black is on the end, but just want to be sure.

I just finished my car and got it on the road after 15 years after restoration. I was going to put a nasty BBC stroker in it and after saving up for 5 years for a motor I went LS with a cheap turbo. Now that I finally drove it I want to boost it more but before boosting more I wanted to change the turbo all over again. It just never ends and racing is worse..Been there done that..Not again will I drag race a car on the strip.

Doesn't look like he is running E85 either? Usually with E85, your spraying enough fuel down there it washes just about anything out.

Yea, I noticed that. I'm going to have to do something for sure. But no, just open air for now. Funny thing is, I've NEVER seen it so much as whisper any smoke. Doesn't seem to use any oil either.

Its on E85, I don't think the rings are shot as it's making pretty decent power still.
