He retired, but still is in the shop everytime I go there. Picks up the phone and runs parts back and forth. I don't think he will ever slow down.

You are looking at the power plant for our lastest turn key package. Not the craziest power in the world, but a good broad power curve. It should power this light weight car just great! Light weight rotating assembly, light valvetrain, middle of the road cam, normal compression ratios, and everything in the book for cooler running.

Winter time, I can find you something fun to do. For not that much money at all, you can score a drive in a Iceracing car. I'm renting a car for a weekend, (I need to drive)

Are those EGTs for each cylinder?

They look more like AFR sensors but are closer to ports than i would expect.

They are O2 sensors. I spoke to Grandpa (Myron) about this today. The biggest difference is the O2 reads the mixture, and there is no guess work where the best heat range is. Back in the day 1600-1800 degrees was the norm. Now with the different cambers, ports, cams, and etc they are much lower. We have learned a lot about intake manifolds, fuel rails and the other issues with the LS engines using these 8 O2s. 13.0 out the pipe is kinda the industry standard. Scary if you ask me, because we know there is a couple lean ones. Tune to the leanest hole, or tune out the lean spot.

This technogly has scored some ASA championships and has helped keep both companies engines healthy.

With your address it took longer to type that into the computer then building the lines. Look for it real early next week. You should have a nice pretty big box at your door step.
