Default Video of my Pete K 383 build running...

Here it is, in the car and running fine, still needs to be datalogged and tuned. It started up quick and never leaked a drop of anything. At the begining of the video its hunting a little but thats because I just unhooked the battery cable to clear the ecm after making a few adjustments and it hasn't recalibrated yet..Also keep in mind that there are no mufflers , I sort of like the way it sounds, but the local law enforcement may not.....WW

Glad to see it is coming together nicely.
A little tuning, and you will be ready for the dragstrip.
I'm jealous. Your combination is better than what I am running.

Couldn't have done it without you Pete. You hung with me through all my dumb questions and problems without a wimper, couldn't have picked a better builder......WW

PS::If my combination is better now, it won't be for long..Remember, I know what your putting in your car next..,

Something is strange with that video. I noticed a lightening sensation in my wallet and a green tint in my eyes while watching it.


Congrats!

Just wait. The best is yet to come. Once the tune is right, and you get to put your foot to the wood, you will really get to appreciate everythng you have purchased.

That sounds good! Congrats on your build..

Just got mine together as well and now I'm really getting excited after hearing yours about getting mine. Yep... PeteK is the man! He has mine just about set...just waiting on me at this point.
Whats real nice is the time PeteK takes to explain things to you.
Great job Pete.


BTW.. Pete.. my tune is coming together and I'm really liking that cam I put in it. But I think I want a bit more!!! (not even tuned yet and I'm already wanting more...lol)

I think you're off to a great start, the motor sounds good/solid. Some work on the tune and you will be in there.........

Nice job! Sounds like the tuning isn't too far off. You are in good hands with Mick (Mseven) doing your tuning. Should turn out real nice. You will be happy with Pete and Mick.
