I was raised also. Part of that was being able to accept a little good-natured ribbing. None of this is malicious.

It's good to see you got the motor back together after the unfortunate events of last year. Look forward to more updates when the engine is back in the car.

I lost the Coolant crossover bolts and I got some from the hardware store so I put it on for safety.

Can’t wait to get it started!

Im putting a 255lph fuel pump, right now it has a current tune with stock pump; anyone know if I should break it in that way??
What exhaust gaskets did you use on the TT setup? Factory metal gaskets will hold 1000whp and not leak. If you used the crappy paper aftermarket gaskets, that would explain it.

What are you power goals. A single 255 isn't going to take you very far.

TT is gone so I’d rather focus on the issue at hand.

i want drivable power. But my question is
i put 36lb injectors and that 255 fuel pump, and I can’t really dyno tune the car for that yet. So it’s tuned for 32lb injectors and stock fuel pump
do you think that will be an issue?

That will be an issue unless you have very low power goals. Usually people go with 60# injectors at a minimum. A single 255 with a hotwire kit will get you about 500whp, maybe 550 depending on drivetrain loss, etc. If you're shooting for something low like 500whp, get the hot wire kit for the 255 and step up to 42 or 60 injectors.

thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I plan a strange 12 bolt with 18 inch z06 10.5 in wheels with 315 in the back. That’s about the HP I want I’m fine with 500whp I have a 2017 Chevy ss in sight.

I got the 255 lph from rpm speed do you if that comes with the Hotwire kit?

Your best bet here is to call RPM Speed and get it from the horse's mouth.

Typically the hot wire kit is a separate purchase. Racetronix or WS6Store should sell it.

very, very easy. No electrical knowledge needed. Just do exactly what instructions say and all will be ok. Mostly plug and play and a few wires need to be repinned.

ok, sounds good.

Before the engine leaned out and gave out. My fuel gauge was acting funny, now that I reflect back not installing the Hotwire kit might have been an issue.
