it's that time!

That must be so rewarding to have it start and run once again! Congrats.

It is!
2 weeks without my car was pure torment.
After the test drive, I had an uncontrollable stupid smile on my face lol.
It feels amazing to have my baby back.

Put 30 miles on her last night, 970 to go before I can really open her up and get you a datalog to see if there's room for improvement on my current tune with you.

My cleaned injectors came in from SP63 and I will hopefully have some time during the weekend to install them.

I already put 100 miles on the new block and an did oil change.
Oil was nice and clean.

Got an CEL for the crank positioner sensor, due to us not timing it during install.
Hopefully we resolved that issue today, I already noticed it's smoother and I can take off in 2nd gear from a roll again without it bucking.

While underneath, we realized the the bolts for the oil pan were not all the way tightened, so we did that as well.

And I need to pull off the oil filter housing during my next oil change at 300 miles to put some permatex on the gasket because it has a minor leak.

Besides those minor issues, the motor is running great so far.

Quick update.

I'm hitting 23lbs with zero issues!
On the way to the gym, I eased her into boost.
1st 12lbs, then 16lbs, finally 21lbs.
On the way home, I eased her into 21lbs then cracked her wide open and held 23lbs... fuuuuuuck I missed the sound of my open wastegate *drool*
Tomorrow, the injector swap, and hopefully I can do a datalog for @Lex; to see if we can make more power.

Looks like I lost about 60whp.

I can understand, since I did have bowl work done on the valve ports and the intake/exhaust ports had a mild porting as well.
Then the face of the SP63 custom pistons are a completely different design from the Gen1 stockers.

So I am guessing I will be in need of a touch up tune in my future.
I sent @Lex; some datalogs to review.
That way I can have his professional opinion on the matter.

Here is an VD graph just to show how they differ.
Red and blue are the 2 logs I recently taken with my SP63 longblock.
Green is a log I took when I had the stock block.

Are those runs repeatable and Vdyno setup correctly (tire size, weight, temperature)?

60whp is excessive to "lose" with the new motor and I am curious if there are any other variables at play. I replied to your email.

I did both runs back to back after I did the 2-3-4 wot datalog.
In fact, those 2 runs were the 4th gear WOT logs i sent you.

Same exact dyno set up as the run I had on file with the stock block.
