Let me say that I really appreciate the fine tools that Moates.net and Efilive have to offer.

This weekend we rushed to finish a car that had to be at an important race across the country by Monday.

Friday
The engine finally was in Friday night.


Saturday
After working a 20 hour day we fired it around 3am. From 3:30 to 6am we drove this monster all around downtown Mt. Airy NC. Andy Griffen Show fans know this as Mayberry. :cheers: Well Barney must have been taking the morning off because we tore the streets up without incident.

Today (Sunday) we took the car to the track. We didn't finish till late and got there 30 minutes before the gates closed. The first run it dragged the back bumper. The second and third runs he left easy with it so that he could capture plenty of data for me to tune with. Rolling out of the hole so as to capture the best data the car ran a 6.36 @ 108mph NA.



Tonight (Sunday night)
The car is on its way to Englishtown NJ for an important race and hopefully a spot in a popular national magazine. The race is tomorrow starting at 8am.



The point of this thread is this. I was given an almost impossible deadline. Without EFIlive software and the flexibility of the Roadrunner there is not a doubt in my mind that I would not have been able to pull this off. Thanks :cheers:

Update,

The car made it to the shootout. This will be in GM high tech magazine. The car went a 9.83 @ 135 on motor no nitrous!

I can't wait to put the car on the dyno and really fine tune it in. The driver said it was 12.2-12.8 the entire run but they don't have the means to change it and I'm 4 states away.

The engine is built for a vacuum pump (note big AN fittings). I don't know if you noticed but it has valve spring oil sprayers built into the valve covers also.. that is the smaller AN fitting.

Thats awesome!

How does the SB2 intake work? Not cathedral port heads? (L92/LS7 maybe?)

Alvin

C5R heads are like a LS7 or SB2 with differen't bolt pattern. They are actually alot like a LS7 especially because of hte offset intake rockers.
