Thanks man! I wish I had moved the intake valve close event a little bit later, but all in all I'm still happy with how it turned out.

Really hope it runs as good in the car as it did on the pump!

Wouldn't want to work with anyone else on the cam, as well as the build in general. Martin is a stand up guy and would even answer my dumb *** questions when I was worrying about nothing...

Any update on that dyno graph?

Are you going to have the car tuned once it's installed?

Still no dyno graph...I am going to call Jeff tomorrow and see if I can get it...he sent it to me in an format that I couldn't open....And yes I will definitely get a tune once the engine is installed in the car...the tune on the dyno will definitely be different from the tune that it has in the car...

What brand of Dyno? If Land and Sea I can help you read it.

You can download the program for 30 days. There is a work around so you can print it or make a JPG.

Shoot me a PM if I can help.

I have a software that shows .PDS as an importable file.

ACDSee 3.1. It came with one of my older cameras and I have used it for years. If you can find the software and have any issues, let me know.

I can converter it to JPG for you if you want to email it over. I will send you my email.

Still trying to get a readable file from the dyno...but in other news it was christmas at my place this weekend...sorry you guys didn't get the memo in time to come get your presents...guess I'll have to put them all in my car...




My helper...


So that is the trans cooler, front brakes, gauge cluster, complete A/C system, complete car wiring harness, fuel tank straps, radiator install kit, and some other odds and ends...Next weekend will be a busy one filled with mostly wiring and plumbing after I get the engine and trans set back into place....definitely a bunch of stuff that needs to be installed and sorted out now...

I got the data back in the form of a pdf, so I had to plug the numbers into an excel worksheet and graph them myself, which is why it doesn't look like a regular dyno graph...
