Default car running after hydroloc rebuild

I got my car "done" today after rebuilding because of a broken...hydrolocked rod
. I actually had it running yesterday but that pesky oil pump o-ring got me and I had to install another this morning. I will beat on it a little tomorrow ...only has 50 miles on it right now. Hopefully I can get a low 10 high 9 out of this thing. Car looks 10 times better with that INCONTT plate on the back

That was fast. What boost will you be running on that thing.
I here a plate like that is good for 5mph on the big end.

Actually that was slow as ****...I had to wait one month for ross to get me the correct rings.
I am glad to be driving the car again...now I gotta get the nerve to run the rpms up! My scuffed up hands remind me of the work involved if something goes wrong

Man if I saw a plate like that I'd have to F#ck with you to see if it was real. I've seen some really bold plates on relatively stock LS1's.

They sent me new ones....with only 6 top rings!!!!!!! I called Total seal directly (who ross sourced them from) and they sent the remaining two overnight. Ross STILL hasn't credited me for the originals which they received back on October 11th. I could use that money...damn gas has gone up 12 cents a gallon while the car was down
You getting a new cam? I talked to Rob and he was talking about some bugs and changes you might be working on.

Yep, definitely have a couple timing issues. I have a couple new cams to try, both are just as nasty as the first though
