Holy crap. I held my breath for a minute!

WE3RX7 · 08-02-2009, 08:34 PM

Is that dyno day going to be "the" dyno day?

I read that after I typed it and thought....... should I change it???? NAHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Sorry guys, had to

She's all better now though. 4 new coils, (actual real Denso ones in the leadings, Napa couldn't give me four of the same) and about 20 minutes of idle time tonight. I know one of the coils was FUBAR, the plugs were FUBAR too though, they were so wet from assembly goo and extra fuel that they fouled out. No spark means no current through the wire which means the timing light wasn't firing either. So I still need to figure out how to test LS1 coils without the OBDII cripe to see which ones are still good. I know one is bad and seeing as how they were all subjected to the same torture, it's a good idea to replace all four. But I'm a little pissed at myself for not checking for wet plugs earlier in the game, oh well, live and learn I guess.

Tomorrow the temp steelie hood and bumper go on and then a weeks worth of breakin - woot!

Negatory - Monday will be baseline 7000 RPM and wastegate for sure, we MAY play around with the sequentials a little bit but it won't be the 8000 rpm 15-18+lbs day. On Monday I am going to let Dave know about my intentions to be back on 8/27 (Thursday) for that dyno and a corner balance in prep for the CART Pocono Track day the day after. So if you're game for two days of testosterone, that might be the ticket. I'll be spending Thursday night at some local hotel.

WE3RX7 · 08-03-2009, 12:42 AM

I may make the Dyno on 8/27 but the friday after is a tough one, lol... We shall see. I def want to be there for the 15+ day...

Ill let you know what happens next week and if the 8/27 is a go or not. Pocono should be fun. I need to get my ass in gear and get that trailer done though otherwise I'll be driving out and back with the truck withe the 7 in tow........ which is something I'd like to avoid.

Could I at least request a Tesla instead when that day comes?

***TitaniumTT*** · 08-09-2009, 08:45 PM

Negatory.

So I've been slammed with work lately and the little project that I had for the FC turned into a MAJOR one, I think the end results will be well worth it though. Regardless, I have yet to drive the car, sad I know, but I have the next few days off and I am hopeful (actually I HAVE to start driving her by Tuesday) to be on the dyno 8/18, then again on the 27th, that day will not change. Time is slipping away from me and I sense a 44.5hr strait no sleep work day in my near future.......... I love cars. I think my next hobby is going to be collecting stamps.

I did however get the dual EGT's in, the Pre-intercooler air temps, and a few other little odds and ends sorted out so that kinda makes me happy. Better yet would've been keeping on schedule but can't have everything I guess.

MaczPayne · 08-10-2009, 10:49 AM

Funny you mention stamps, my friends and I always joke around, "We should just sell all our cars and Jeeps and get into something like low-rider bikes, or stamps"

***TitaniumTT*** · 08-10-2009, 11:34 AM

Yup, that's pretty much the running joke that we have, "why couldn't we collect stamps instead."

The answers range from, "boost gets you laid," to "stamps don't arouse me," "you can't take a woman for a ride on a stamp," etc etc etc. I like my boats too. The over powered surfboard type scream across in the water 1/2 the time @ 60+mph..... it's a shame that everything fun is so damn expensive. Oh well, what can ya do? Back to work on the hood.

So I finally bought a new camera.... I should actually have some pics up later tonight. Joe can have a look and mock my blocking abilities

***TitaniumTT*** · 08-10-2009, 08:28 PM

Needs alot more work, but I wanted to play with the cheapo $129 Nikon..... not bad. I'ma have to play around with some video in the near future. For now though, the pics will have to suffice
