So engine is in my garage and I was able to check bellhousing alignment with QuickTime performance bellhousing, fell in perfect with stock dowls so now I have 3 sets of offset bellhousing dowls if anyone needs them.
. Got the monster clutch installed and bellhousing on. Will go tomorrow to get some bolts long enough to mate the transmission to the bellhousing.
I go back to the boat Wednesday or Thursday so probably won't try to get it in this time off. When I come home it will e ready to set on the k member and put in though.
I also joined Joe Sherman's holley efi class.. pretty interesting, , not that I'll be able to do the full tune on my own but great to have when sorting an issue ,just reference the videos that are short and focus on what you are dealing with.
Will also be updating my other thread for red car as well
Car is running great, just spent 8 days at cruising the coast in Mississippi and ran flawless. Wife never at all said anything negative and we ran the ac the whole time.
I set up flex fuel in holley. Only once did I add some e in it and seen 36% on the dash. Car certainly liked the 2 degrees timing with the 36% e but for cruising the coast I kept it on 93.
I'm back on boat until the 9th of Nov then it's going on e85. I'll be looking to put on chassis dyno and hit up the track soon.
Made a trip to the track a couple weeks ago just to see what my street car would do. Was supposed to be happy with what ever and not worry about getting it all out of it. Just get an idea of what it would do. This is the 6spd and 6.0 I built with very mild street manners but optimized all I could.
In 6 passes at 1500 above da the worst pass was 11.20 @124 and best was 11.07 at 125 with bogging 60fts in 1.66 to 1.70 range.
I couldn't leave it at an 11.0 car so i hooked up a 2 step on a button when it should be on clutch pedal but I just wanted a way to leave with my foot on floor .
Wednesday night I went to track again and after a few passes and consulting with Madman we had it doing pretty well.
In no Certain order. The slow passes for the most part were leaving hard but driving left. I didn't want to adjust on anti roll bar because it truly is my street car and it rides good where it's at. Also when I went to right lane it stopped going left when wheels went up. I tried to get another run in but they shut staging lanes down to start 1/8 mile eliminations. I loaded up and went on home.
da was great but honestly my car didnt seem to be changed by it with holley. At end of night it was -790 below but the speed only picked up when i taped off the front of my air lid to make true ram air with the super sucker ram air kit. Filter still in lid.
Now I'll go back to getting my red car back race ready and drive and enjoy this one.
