Man, that thing is INCREDIBLE! I haven't been on S197 forum long so I haven't been tracking your progress, but DAMN! It's turned out awesome!

I saw your car in what was it, 5.0 mag!? Or maybe MM&FF. Either way... Killer ride! Can't wait to see how she performs!

Thanks bro...

Badass, Mark!!! Let me know if you're gonna go to Irwindale on Thursday. I'd like to go see it run.

Will do Joe. If Greg can solve the a/f difference bank to bank tomorrow - then Irwindale is looking really good.

Nice, Mark. Congrats on being back.

Re: hood struts, I couldn't keep the Redline ones from breaking, either, so I got a set of NXTs. Good shit, direct bolt-ons for a stock hood, and my Trufiber hood, so probably direct bolt-on for yours, too.

Nice to hear her breathin'!! Best part, I see you are using my 'specail tool' to keep your hood up too... NICE!

Well it's been a helluva 2 weeks but we have finally figured out the issue of the Uegor being back and forth and the a/f being so lean on the drivers side.

I just confirmed it with the 3rd Ford tech...

My driver's side cam is off by 180º

Going to retime it tonight and hopefully be on the dyno tomorrow. I am very happy to have figured this out. I should have figured it out sooner but I honestly never suspected that a 20 thousand dollar motor would come with the cam off 180º...

no amount of money can ensure zero human mistake. LOL

at least you found it, I hope that the next thread I read from you is another good one! would like to see you stay running at least until you get out of the shop. LOL

good luck and congrats on the progress!

 

[stangzilla]

congrats on gettin' er done.

 

[ChevyKiller]

Thanks - I'm honestly shocked it even idled and thank god I never got into the throttle or put it on the dyno - would have been a bad day for the valves and pistons on that side...

I have to admit I'm a little pissed off though. You'd think a 20 thousand dollar motor would come timed right...

Subscribing.




Give her hell!!!

...the Uegor being back and forth...

OK, I've seen you use that term a few times, and I'm sorry but I finally had to say something. I believe the correct term is "UEGO", which is an acronym for "Universal Exhaust Gas Oxygen". In context it is typically referred to as a UEGO sensor. My AEM wideband has one.

maybe "Universal Exhaust Gas Oxygen Reading" ???



CK- dont get too mad yet until you pull it apart and find out. Good luck!

Congratulations!

Taking into consideration that you gave us a Cell Phone video, that thing is sick! Hopefully you get time to use a real camcorder when you get the cam issues squared away!!

Sweet Jesus... The fact you havent literally someone by now is unbelieveable!!

 

[vinnybarber]

Yeah - if the cobra stuts don't work - I'll just go back to the stock prop.

Mark you have my number and feel free to call anytime
just remember take baby steps. It will come. It's ok to not
set the world on fire first few times out.

 

[rford426]

Wow I can't wait to really hear this bad boy spool up!!

 

[white05gt]

Just curious, what did Rich and Justin have to say about the cam being out of time?

 

[SUHleen]

I was just over my friends house last week looking at the article where you had the Vortech twin screw in and my friend got all pissy, "how the hell did he get that blower I called vortech and they said I couldn't buy it yet." haha then he got even more pissed when I told him thats not your setup anymore and we argued about it for a good hour or so cause I told him you have a new turbo build. He was like hell no he doesn't this issue is brand new so I showed him that video and shut him up

Looks good can't wait to see it on the dyno then on the track!
