Thank you.

I've been driving the car around after work this week. Its been doing pretty good, just sorting out all the small things that arise with a full build. Flooring it feels nice, its been way to long since Ive been in a quick car. Also took it to the scale today, it was right about where I thought it would. Full interior, all power options still intact, no cutting of any kind, heat, sunroof, wipers etc etc with my tool bag I never leave home without came to 2860 on 3/8 tank of gas.

can you log coolant temperature during some WOT runs and report back as to how well CT is controlled with the half size radiator? Not saying it will be a problem, I'm just curious as to the rise of temperature given the power output of the car.

Its been cruising between 170-176. I did 5 back to back pulls yesterday. It was 75 degrees, entering the last pull it was 179. It got up to 186 within 20 seconds it was back to 179 and dropped back to 176 within a minute.

Im re torquing the head and switching to brad penn tonight. It has about 300 miles on it as of right now and a few wot pulls. I was sorting out the aem boost control settings last night as well as afrs. Its still pretty rich and needs some a few more pulls to sort out the boost control stuff but 43lbs felt pretty awesome.

So what's the logic behind switching oils? What were you running before Bradd Penn?

You said you were getting the AEM boost control sorted out... 43lbs was accidental bro or what? Sounds like fun! Lol
