Default Its finally together! Idle clip! LE2 383
Im almost finished with the new engine. I have about 100 miles on it. The setup consists of:

LE2 heads
LE 236/244 112 LSA
Forged 383 12.3:1
CP pistons
Callies Crank
Compstar Rods

It runs very well. Soon im going to be making an appointment for a dyno tune at speed inc.

Im still battleing a miss in the upper rpms. Im going to switch fuel pumps, put a gm opti on and go from there.


Cold start up:

It runs very well but has a miss in the upper RPMs. Interesting.

Sounds good though.

lol You would be the one to point that out joe. I'll correct this for ya Joe. the drivability is great, start up it great. And it pulls like crazy to about 6000rpm. this is an off and on thing I have been trying to chase down. It also did it with the previous engine also thats why I said still. Thanks!
