FC3S Murray's never ending build.

[FC3S Murray]

Well we made it home yesterday..........it was a nightmare getting back. Old man winter HAD to have his last storm the day I come back from my tune!! Talk about a major pucker factor going over two of the passes at 5950FT with no chains(they were making everybody put on chains...we had none.

Rain and snow the whole way back....my car got some minor road rash

Lets sum it up for you with pictures:

Car loaded on Uhaul after cursing and having to remove some shit on the trailer to clear the front lip. *Cant open driver door once loaded since car is so low. You have to climb out the window....fun :'(


Then the car cover. NOW the only reason I ran a car cover was last month when I went to Spokane for a family death there was a TON of gravel everywhere. I figured I would take some paint chaffing over rock chips anyday. Soo I put masking tape on all the "high" areas of the body. It worked too, the only parts that got chaffed were the sides of the A and C pillars, and the rear fender.


On the dyno


Dyno vids
LS1 FC3S Dyno pull
...LOL I trip on a metal pipe in this vid
LS1 FC3S Dyno pull #2

Dyno sheet (yellow lines are best pull, the green was the first pull of the day in 3rd gear for tune testing)



Same pull but power levels if at sea level



.....engine bay soooo dirty :'( :'( ...took me 2 hours last night to detail again



The bad weather coming back...after seeing no gravel there we decided to ditch the cover since the weather was supposed to be decent...... lol


The worse weather at the passes....


Now I have to do some major polishing and overall car clean up. Car show next weekend....got to get to work.

So nice to be finished.......kinda
