You heard that too!...and YES it was the beast starting up..lol
So far I've got about 22 min's on the new motor. A couple of minor issues but I'm in the process of taking care of that and going over those datalogs. I should have a video up by or before tomorrow.

I read your profile, 13.3 sounds a little weak. You should be going faster than that. You might want to check to see if the cam was installed right. check your timing something sounds off. What did this build cost ya anyways? You might want to go another route if you are only seeing a 13.3. You should have just bought a newer stock vette, they will easily outrun a 13.3
Good for you anyways you learned how to unbolt a small block and put a new one in.
Even though you didn't take full advantage of your engine.

Sorry man, my mistake. What 1/4 mile times did you get with the HSR? 13.3 with an x-ram is a really good time. Have you tried the renegade on your crossfire? Or porting the stock intake manifold? I guess it is alittle late now to think crossfire.
