Thanks!!!

Its ready to drive after I double check the install!

I am going to have to be really easy on the tranny- there is no way it can stand a hard launch with 230 lb/ft of torque!

Actually- 231...LOL

Cool!

Speaking of which, what pressureplate/clutch disk with what flywheel diameter does one use for such a torque monster?

Glad you seem to be able to make it for your appointment with the rolling road Dyno day!

Thanks,
Walter

I used a 200mm Billet flywheel with a 5 doweled crank and the BAS ream to fit bolts..

I used a KEP Gold Disc and a stage IV pressure plate..... It never slipped once on the dyno!

BTW- Dyno shaft held the power like a champ! I bet the old one would have died on the second run.

Sam- That was a good one!

BTW- Len is finishing up your heads no later than the end of next week. Everything else is ready to rock!

All the best,
Sam C

Glad to hear that the installation didn't fight you like the build/dyno did.

Gearing and tires are staying the same till I blow it apart.....

That tranny has lived through pure Hell- I think this might just kill it....

I am going to try and Daily Drive it for a few thousand miles before I tear it back out and re-dyno it and install the FI...

That's a feat all in itself! Jake, thanks for sharing this with us. One thing though, will this engine see the EFI from Kit?

No, Autronic EFI- Because I already have it...

Tranny and engine took 13 passes and still are not broken
