BENCHED, NO MORE!

After 6weeks, I started my car tonight. Equipped now with Absolute Speed 6.0l heads. (9.25:1 compression). Also the new hood is on. Seems the install was a success, no leaks. The TT kit is back on, after having to remove basically the entire thing. All told my brother in law George and I have 30+ hours of labor not including tear down. Before I go WOT again, my car will see my dyno, for a complete tune. I was at 11.4 A/F through the entire WOT run last tune. Don't know if the lower compression will make me rich or lean. Don't want to chance it after having gone through this ordeal. Decided to 86 my 2 step after only making 1# of boost and mentally I just wanted to get rid of it. I will run at the track on my BFG DR's hoping for a low 60ft. I was getting 9# of boost w/ the stock heads. I have heard I will lose some? Fixing to take it for a spin here shortly. Not going to stomp on it but I would like to see if these 44's spool any quicker, in the rpm's. I will continue to run 100 oct at all times. Car will be off to Alcalde Customs for hood graphics and painting. Huge thanks to George.

I have all kinds of pics, but have no clue how to get them up here

They are on my Kodak Easyshare software?

Re: BENCHED, NO MORE!

Very cool. Can't wait to see what numbers you get with the AS 6.0 heads. Was that a Harlan 2 step you're getting rid of? If so, I might be interested in it if you wanted to sell it.

I'm not too far from you, I'm over in Palatine.... PM me or something if you want to sell it.

Yes, it is a Harlan. Sorry, I will use it for the piece of iron in my garage

Gotcha.

Just figured I'd ask since I kinda want one of these and from what I hear if I ordered one from Harlan it would take a while to get it.... I get kinda impatient.

Re: BENCHED, NO MORE!

Just got home. Threw a code? I will check tomorrow. Turbo's seem to boil at 2400rpm's now. They also screech alot more? Car feels great. Temp and all gauges are reading well. EGTS at cruise 1350-1400. Turned down my street and gave it not quite half throttle, saw 3# and it whipped me in my seat, felt awesome. I could just tell those turbos were crying for me to mash the gas. Shawn thanks for the reply, I sent you all the pictures. Ang

Very NICE! All the pics are here Angelo:

I went and sized them down a little so they are a little more friendly with the dial up people here. The sized down pics start with "angelo" where the large original pics you sent start with "100".

Here they are:
