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!

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
