Update on 305 TPI to 350TPI

Well the engine has gotten better even though I have not gotten the exhaust pipe fixed yet.As it breaks in more she pulls a little stronger and I upped my fuel pressure even more and the O2 sensor code went away.I put new plugs in and ran them w/ the fuel pressure at 50PSi and the plugs are burning perfect on all 8.The power increase was noticeable as well,it is possible to have been getting a bad reading from the accell pressure gauge cause the old plugs showed defenite signs of runnong lean.My pinging seemed to quit,maybe the computer was learning w/ the hypertech chip I don't know but once my pipe gets fixed I think I will be happier and then I'll let you know.

It cost $1236.00 for the premium long block,and no I didn't pay for it the insurance did.Someone else did it but I am having to go back and redo this mechanics sh** he screwed up.Alot of it was just plain stupidity on their part.I got out of wrenching cause I was tired of it but hell even if I pay someone else to do it,it seems I still stay under the hood fixing peoples f**k ups.
