Would look better without the shiny greasy tires IMHO, those are for cars trying to look fast but aren't.

in the words of my prolific hater "Stop ruining good cars, just take something already ruined from the factory like a corvette and do this to it."

Love the car and your engine bay makes me feel blessed with how much room I have in my LS swap. Your knuckles must hate you. Looks factory in there for sure

So it was good over the weekend while dry.
Popped down to Brill. Which was... erm... brill!
Mapping next week will hopefully eliminate a lot of the bucking and deadspot on the throttle. Fingers crossed!









Some guys in the petrol station asked if they could have a look round it and take some pics which was a nice feeling. They couldn't believe it had a Chevy engine haha.

Are you sure the bucking isn't pilot induced oscillation due to suddenly having a fast car?

It's hard to modulate pedal pressure against 2g's of acceleration

I thought that but it's just the cam. They warned it would happen and mappin should improve it a lot. Also once the canbus is working and I have a rev counter it'll make it easier I think. Hooray.

Someone from Texas, where the motto is "Everything's bigger in Texas," told you it was as big as you'd want to go.

Looking at TSP's website, they only have one cam larger than that, and they go pretty aggressive on their cams as it is.

Pushrod V8s follow the cat law of "if it fits, it sits". I can't wait till when AI figures out how to put a pushrod lump into a Fiat X19
