Default 86' 355ci TrickFlow running again ..

Well it's been quite awhile since I was here last. I finally remembered my old password. GreyMatter isn't what it used to be. So I have about 5K. mi. on this 355 motor. Better Keith Black pistons this time around, but the same TrickFlow 420HP. Street Bracket Kit.

Still using the Corvette TPI. with BBK. Intake. Went with higher quality Sanderson Shorty Headers this time. 24lb. injectors, MegaRaptor' 700R4 trans. With 373 rr.gears. So as far as being able too light it up .. no problem all the way through second gear. Got one of my mechanics pissed when I left two black streaks all the way up his block .. not too mention lots of smoke.

One thing that bothers me through, it's still using quite a bit of oil .. I am making some video's with it .. just put the oil change sequence on YouTube .. will soon be making some new performance vids .. but still have the AutoCross video up, a lap around Qualcom. San Diego .. Links if you want too check em' out .. Best.Chris
