finally here !

[smokediver]

My engine has finally arrived !! I am trying to figure out if the tbolt v ignition is going to work or if i can by pass the rev limiter . max horsepower according to the dyno is at 5500 rpm ...430 horse .... that's gonna hurt on the alpha ... glad i got a warranty on it !

[Cuda]

Where did you get it from?

[MOP]

You may want to think about trying a Tbolt IV 20 degree pack, they are plentiful and reliable with less hassle and no limiter.

wow.. it's gona fly... 430 hp....

[smokediver]

hey phil , i got it from a guy in arizona ... mop , i had a tbolt4 and i am sure it had a rev limiter .. 1998 model ... I might be able to keep up with you charles ..

[Rootsy]

wow.. it's gona fly... 430 hp....

you're right...


it'll fly alright.... from chine to chine... not trying to be negative... i've been there a time or two... or three... maybe four :bonk:

[Sam]

So what exactly is this fire breathing machine. Do you have stats for the lower part of the dyno curve I.E. below 5500 ?

[need for speed]

so got it running yet!???:wink:

[Sam]

Big numbers :yes: , now your going to be bolting that bad boy in a 16.........right ? If so this is going to be interesting :eek!: .

[smokediver]

yeah , it's going in my 16 ... I should have some numbers in a few weeks ... the motor goes in tomorrow and wednesday i am taking it out to start breaking it in . we are running it outside of the boat for 20 minutes and then do an oil change and install the engine , align , and hang the drive . hopefully the weather will stay nice for another week ! I'd hate to have to put on long sleeves !

[Sam]

Sweet.............keep us posted :wink: .

I finally got it in the water and took it out for a run ! I had a mech. friend of mine go with me and he checked the temps on the manifolds riser therm. housing ...Everything checked good ... I did one run up to the limiter .... just to check the prop and all ... i need more than the 25 mirage ... maybe a labbed 27 ... i kinda pooped out on the top end... i may need more than the 600 edelbrock ... so i have some tweaking to do but i did break the 70 mph mark ! the extra torque makes the acceleration incredible !
