[QUOTE="03BlownSnake, post: 8621812, member: 9689"] I have had so much problems with this thing.. I cant believe my luck :( The car is finally running, 2 weeks to get my pistons and cam, took 2 weeks to get it back from the balance work done.. and about 3 days for me to assemble it (working on it for about 2-3 hours after work) Everything was finally assembled and it would crank and not start! had fuel press but no spark. So the next day I brought tools to diagnose the no spark problem and the car ran at first start up!, So i drove it to the dynojet, bucking and jerking thinking it was just cause the tune was missing... Well, the tuner spent 2 days trying to dial it in and he couldnt tune it cause it kept bucking in jerking.. so I took it home... on the way home it cleared up and drove fine for about 2 hours till I got home, the next morning, it wouldnt start again.. installed a new ignition module, new coil and still nothing, so I removed my MSD boxes and just using stock ignition system. Found that the MSD distributor trigger wheel was hitting the stator, so I swapped to my stock distributor... So ok, now its running... Now Im having overheating issues. my fan wasnt comming on, so I found a ground was bad, so I cleaned that, then worked. So I was driving it and it wasnt hot, but the radiator cap blew off pressure, so I found the cap was defective, so I replaced it. Driving around town, in 110 degree day, the car got up to 222* So I decided to screw the electrical fan and module and go back to the clutch fan set, up, so now the car is half tuned (runs pretty decent) and with the clutch fan, AC on and in stop n go traffic, it gets to about 210* max of 215 What do you guys think of that temp? Still to hot? Its got no power adder now, all motor and runs strong I might add. I actually raced a 06 Mustang with a saleen blower, guy says he is pushing 510 to the wheels and I kept up with him, I wasnt going to beat him, but I was nose to nose the whole time... Im getting the tune finished up this week, Sorry for the long post.. [/QUOTE]
