It also can idle in Woodward Dream Cruise traffic for four hours straight, never exceed 186 degrees, then immediately lay down 396 rear wheel horsepower on the Livernois chassis Dyno.
I'm hoping for an even better performance at the tenth annual Michigan event this upcoming october 10th where I should see the engine hit 400 ft.lbs and tip it over 400 RWHP with a better tune and the FAST LSX ECM that I have here in the box. If I can find traction I might even tickle some 11-second time slips out of the engine.
Notice the Edelbrock TES6872 headers? Dont anyone ever tell you that they are junk. I've got some Hooker long tubes hanging up to go in over the winter but for now, the Edelbrocks seem to be doing a fine job with exhausting this engine. It doesnt start dropping power until after 6250 RPM.

i had a question about that...you don't leave your throttle body open to the air like that normally, do you? sometimes i see pictures of stealthrams and they leave the opening to the throttle body wide open. isnt that like bad...or do they just do it for the pictures

thats before I had everything put together...if you look, i don't even have the raditor cover on in that picture, and i didn't even have the airbox in either. So to answer your question, no I dont' ride around like that, I have MAF, so I need that tube on there too...also that TB was 500 bucks so I had to show it off a little bit and yes that is bad, your suckin unfiltered air into the motor, never a good idea..

You Bastard! I thought I was the first and only to mill down the top! I'm going to have a buddy engrave something on the top of mine, then finish polishing it. Great minds think alike

Just out of curiosity. Why do people run just an air filter on the end of the throtle body? Is it just for the look? You would think that the stock one might be better cause your not pulling hot under hood air.

Nice pic's everyone.

It was a five step process to powdercoat it.
1) Polish it like crazy
2) Mask off what you dont want powdercoated
3) Powdercoat what you do want powdercoated
4) heat cure carefully
5) re-polish out the parts covered with mask, because the yellow will indeed find its way around the mask.
It took me about sixteen to twenty hours of work to get it that way.
BTW, the torquey engine is now F.A.S.T. XFI powered and all my flat spots went away. Mash the gas and it buzzes like an angry bee. First gear is waste-the-tires, second gear is crazy-fast, and third-gear is arrest-me-fast. Fourth is stupid-fast, fifth is blow-the-hood-off fast, and sixth, well, lets just say I've never been to sixth gear except when cruising.
It turned 396 RWHP at Livernois dyno in late august and I'm sure it's now over 400. In fact, my rear axle is now skiving off steel from somewhere and it's beginning to howl... I thought I bulletproofed it, too! I guess the Richmond gear folks were right...

However, now the work is tapering off again so I need to find something else. Hence the F.A.S.T. gig. Unfortunately that isnt paying any bills yet, but I did end up with a nifty new ECM in my car for R&D purposes...
Just curious: WHich powdercoating system is your principal piece? Are you still using Hotcoat or have you moved into Tiger Drylac powders and a commercial gun for doing your pc work?
...and with regards to ceramic thermal barrier coatings, are you using the Technline coatings series? I did my own pistons in Techline CBC2 but after a summer's worth of engine use, I haven't popped off a cylinder head to see if its still there or not.
PM me if you dont want to answer on this thread as this is probably bordering on thread hijack.

The paint only made it 21 years before I had to have it redone.
Just don't make paint like they used to!
