Anyway to cut a front Bird insert to fit in the license plate area?
I actually have one that a member on here made for me. He basically cut out the negative space of the license plate cover and left the bird. And I have an open one with mesh too. I can always remove them for the track. I'll post some pics up later if what I have
Little update. Made some progress and encountered some issues with my computer at the dyno. I think they're fixed now. Swapped to a new pcm and different OS and so far so good. Car sounds great. Dyno appointment again next Saturday. Quick video with a few revs checking return to idle. Thanks to Darth_V8r and Big Hammer for helping me sort this thing out. Mainly just tuning left and a few small things. I'll be hitting the track as soon as it opens in April.
Well had a few issues and tuner was pretty sick but at least I made a few full pulls. I had some wiring issues so he wants me to get those fixed and come back to clean up the tune and do E85 Then I need to get the nitrous finished also.
Made 3 pulls. For some reason he couldn't get a tach signal so we don't have RPM or torque. Sorry.
Congrats Aaron!
Excellent results!
How does it drive?
Thanks buddy. I'm not done with it yet either. Needs some more tweaks. Drives good. Like a normal car except the tuner couldn't get the surging perfect. Jake is working on that now for me. He's amazing at it. He actually did most of my tune before I even went.
I guess I forgot to updat this but this engine threw a rod bearing. Took it to a local shop finally and it ate two connecting rods, and the crank. The shop is guessing that the last shop didn't clean the block properly before assembling the bottom ends. When I pulled the engine apart initially down to the block it was pretty tore up. I guess some shops just hot tank the block and if there's metal shavings they need to individually clean the oil passages or the metal will just flow back into the bottom end when the engine is started after rebuild and tear it up again. Sometimes we learn things the hard way. Only 25 miles on it before it went. That's cars though for sure. Moving on to the next build now. It's going to be LS7 based. It's as the shop being built as of today. Going to have some absolutely awesome Mamo LS7 heads and Mamo LS7 MSD, solid roller.... More details to come. I'll probably start a new thread for it when the engine is closer to done.
