Well Mike came through like a champ for me again with a break in map. We had a small problem with the clutch fork not engaging the throw out bearing but we just fixed it. This is the moment of truth.

Well it started right up!!!

It's been a long 6 months.

I really want to Thank Mike Warfield of GST Motorsports. He sent me my break in map and has been helping me build this beast for the last three years. He is the best in my book.
www.gstmotorsports.com

I also want to thank my neighbor Joe. He was there from the first bolt pulled until the last one was installed on this motor build. He put up with my crap for four weeks

I really want to thank Adam and his friend Matt who own Fortuna Muffler. They helped us get the motor in and went over our work to make sure every last thing was correct. Great guys and awesome friends.

Also I guess I need to thank S&H Machine Shop for teaching me patience while my block was there for the last 3 months getting rebore, and the pistons, rings, and rod bearings were installed.

HAHA I already know you capped me before I started the car. I know you won't let me F myself over . Car is running great. Idle hunts a bit but not bad at all, something we can fix when I get it on the dyno. You the man Mike!

EGT and Oil Pressure gauges, black Samco Radiator hoses, Plastic Intake Manifold (reversed with spacers). Then I will have a new pipe made to come off the throttle body that will be in the front and attach to the cold side of my FMIC. I will need to put the MAF in there somewhere I think also. GST Aluminum Radiator. All that and some undecided 18X10's

If there is any need for the log I pulled let me know and I can post it into a code box on here, or e-mail it. I have not even looked at it. Idle was wandering from 700-950 RPMs and AFR from 13.x-15.x, but it seemed to be healthy all in all. It didn't stall , or throw any CELs

Map name is great lol

I appreciate it man, I'll let you know if Mike wants to take a look @ the log. Seems to be running like a champ, I keep feeling uneasy since I built it but I guess I got lucky. I really appreciate you hooking up the turbo and everything else you helped with. You really know your stuff Adam.
