LSX is ready to be dropped in tomorrow (PICS!)
Finally finished reading all 52 pages after about 4 days in my downtime at work. Got to say after all this I'm still wanting to read more. Can't wait to see this up and running. And congrats on taking this big of a project on by yourself.
i agree, its a tremendous project and i respect the guy for taking it on. He's pretty damn close and i can't wait to see it up and running. The engine bay looks like a work of art, amazing man! i'm using the first pic of post 214 as my wallpaper.
Just to keep you guys updated, I'm not going to mess with it until we get some better weather around here. It's going to snow again this weekend but after that I would think it will start getting better. I would say another month before I feel like starting the trouble shooting again. Shouldn't be too tough to figure out, I'm pretty sure it's just a sensor and it will be running good enough to go get some base line tuning. Just need to figure out which sensor. Check back in a month and I should be back at it.

It was really nice out after work today so I decided to go out and take a look. I might have already found the problem. Remember how I burnt up the new battery? Well as a result I just threw back in the old one that was questionable. Right after charging it, it had enough to turn it over to get it to start those couple times but it never fully charged. Now it won't even take a charge. I'm wondering if it was just a bad battery. Could that cause it to die like that? I'm going to get a new one & some fresh race gas tomorrow because it looks like it's going to be nice this weekend. I'm crossing my fingers that with the new battery it will just start right up.
Well, not bad, it starts. But only runs for less than 30 seconds trying to find an idle and then putts out. Now I'm pretty sure it's just a tunning issue. If it was something else I don't think it would start at all. It's actually running for a little chugin real hard trying to find idle. You can tell it's a pretty big cam lol. I have a couple more things to check out this weekend but if I don't get it running tomorrow I'm going to see how fast speed inc can get me in and then tow it over there so they can scan it and hopefully get a little dyno tuning in.

Hopefully everything gets worked out, this thing will be absolutely killer once you get it all sorted out. 
How big is the cam anyways, i'm guessing around 24X duration? As well with a cam that big are you having any vacuum issues?
