I just got my 383 block back, Dane, and I was thinking of your post. What's the good word?

Hey Matthew
Just PM'd you. No real progress to speak of I did get the baseline tune installed but haven't even had time to get it off the jackstands and datalog it. Right now I'm remodeling my masterbath so between that and work and just the normal everyday stuff I don't have a free moment (barely have time to sit here at the computer, but I'm multi-tasking computer and dinner and the same time

).
Once I get somewhere I'll make sure to update.

Very nice! Looks great

One item I would consider is to ditch the valve cover vent-breather and replace it with an elbow w/hose that runs to your throttle body, (the hole that you have plugged up right now).

I had breathers on one of my former C4s'. When I changed over to the hose set-up, the motor seemed like it was happier. I don't know how else to explain the result.
