Default WooT! Engine is back from machine shop.....

2008 cc's of fury! Engine is bored, balanced and blueprinted. We reused the Pauter rods, went with an ABA crank, and custom JE pistons will all the coatings they offer. Along the way we're replacing the starter and many other components while the engine is appart. Massive amount of powdercoating is completed and the block is painted all nice-nice. By Monday I should have her back. After some initial break-in, we're turning up the boost....hard. =)

Anyone going to fall show-n-go from these parts??

Default I may be at SNG. I turned me Boost up to 21psi yesterday and lubs it.....

I wish I had replaced my starter and my alternator when I did my engine. Damn you for reminding me. I think my project is going to have a few more phases in the next year or so as well

Jeff @ C2 worked with Sleeper last tune, so I'm sure it's only going to require minor tweaking now.

Default your car feels fairly strong at whatever boost you had it the other day. 15psi?

When are those guys coming to tune it?

Default Yup. Basically a custom Street/Dyno tune IIRC. I plan on having UNItronic do the same for me....
