[QUOTE="Quade, post: 10739190, member: 90981"] [b]Finished!!![/b] Hey guys, this pass week wes a marathon week for my build. Thursday night I actually got to start it after 3 months of having my butt kicked. After adding all the fluids and priming the motor for about 30 minutes, I hit the switch and it fired right up. That really surprised me cause of the new rails and injectors have never seen fuel. Friday morning we took off to the dyno and began an 8 hour tuning secession to get this thing under control somewhat. At the end of the day we left the car with a FAT tune for the next 2 week so I can safely go out and thrash the crap out of it and somewhat break the motor in. Final tally for the first tune: 16* timing, 16 psi boost, 11.0 a/f at WOT. This made 642 HP and 640 TQ at 5400 rpm. He shut it down there just to be safe. What impressed me more than anything was the car had 471 tq at 2000rpm and the max torque was at 5100 rpm. Horsepower wise, the line was still going straight up at 5400 so I can only guess what that would be right now. The cams are 6800 rpm cams and it's still pulling my guts out at 6500. That's where my limiter is sitting for now and that will be changed a week from Friday when I go back to get the final tune. I'm not a tuner and my understanding of all this is limited but my tuner (Lee Blankenship of Blankenship Tuning) is top notch with these Cobras. He is also the tuner that tuned POSI to a 9 sec, ported stock blower pass. Final round of pics guys.
