So, what did you do today?

[Al Fernandez]

Congratulations Chris!! Very nice

[AI#97]

Dyno'd 260 hp / 294 tq. :twisted:

Underpowered Mod motor in the 55 pulled

252 hp / 287 tq

Amazing since Matt says it has a tune in it. He can hear it.
Says he can hear 3 or 4 degrees of extra timing. Hell of an ear.

Flat tq curve though.....over 260 TQ at 2500 rpm's, over 275 from 3000 to 4700 rpms.

LOL...10 years of dyno graphs pretty well tell a stock compression PI motor will make 245/280 with long tubes and no tune or underdrive pullies....i'd be more worried how he got that car to run without a stock instrument cluster in the car...you know, the one that requires computer tuning to remove it from the car... :roll:

You want to see what a PI motor makes that meets the rules on the dyno, go look at Gunter's dyno. It's spot on with what dyno results have shown since 1999 with no tune....even has all the check engine lights to prove it! I bet you don't have a check engine light do you?! Sadly, he won't be there kicking your butt with an inferior (read legal) car.....but hey, it's all just for fun right?! :roll:

Was down at the shop last night and all day today to get the AI car dusted off and put back together for MSR-C. Michael helped out the entire time... Thanks!!

1. Wash off engine since it's been sitting in the corner for 9 months (check)
2. Install engine and trans (check)
3. Repaint and install pedal box and brake booster (check)
4. Change up bump stack to keep last years failure from happening again... (check)
5. Started to install new "painful" Painless harness (half check)
6. Install oil cooler and radiator (check)

Still to go in the next few weeks:
1. Accusump plumbing
2. Fire bottle plumbing
3. New switch panel
4. Rewire ABS
5. Re-toe car
6. Install battery
7. Cross fingers it will start after being brain dead for almost a year...

5. Started to install new "painful" Painless harness (half check)

Really that bad? I used their harness to COMPLETELY rewire my 69 Camaro, much cheaper than American Autowire.

Will be good to have more Mostys around.

Ok, I lied - the original dome light harness is still in the car.

As it turns out, I may have run the last race (Race 3 for me) on 6 cylinders. Here's what I found today...

broken valve spring on number 4 intake valve. Notice how high the valve stem is. Probably broke the head off the valve.

[David Love AI27]

What did the plug look like?? Maybe the rest of the valve is stuck closed... Hopefully.... I have a pair of matched 305 heads out of a 85 Blazer... or a set of raw heads... I'll check what I have tomorrow evening...

puting Mitch's old tool boxes to good use....

Today? Nothing.

Yesterday, dislocated my left shoulder (again) playing football with my soon and the church youth group.

Don't worry... I still plan to make TWS.
