Thanks,Matt

Damn those were forged pistons that cooked in the #5/7 holes? Did you find the cause?

madmatt9471

Yes it was Detonation at the 1/4 mile track when my tune was Meth dependent, the pump seal broke and drained out the Meth and as I went down the track it Detonated

Now I am not Meth dependent with my twin fuel pumps, Meth will be introduced for safety and cooling!

Thanks,Matt

Good to know, I am running a 3.5" with an IW balancer on a 383 with stock LS6 heads and 10.4:1 compression. We were thinking we could hit around 15, but we were seeing some signs of slip. I have a new belt to install and we will do a few other things.

Glad to see your build about done!

I got an engine light today on the way home P0327 Front Knock Sensor - When I look back and looking at the HELMS Manual it says to Torque them to 15 ft lbs and "IF" they are "OVER TIGHTENED" you will get that code as well or low voltage - I remember that I set my my TQ Wrench wrong on those and was supposed to loosen and reset it to the proper torque, but neglected to do so, so I'll pull the manifold and redo them this week - Arrrgh!

Other than the above mentioned, and now also needing a new power steering pump pulley, (dang piece of plastic crap broke today too) all is good!

On the way to work all went real smooth as I drived normal varying the speeds. On my way home from work I varied the RPM's as well and was cruising at 70 MPH with the cruise control when the Check Engine Light came on and actually shut the Vette down, due to the P0327 code - once all calmed down and I checked everything out, I got it started after a couple of tries and again it ran super tight and smooth, although the code P0327 came back again and again.

The motor feels so good but I am really taking it slow and easy and am going to put a minimum of 500 miles on it (started this morning with 99399, so at 99899 and "IF" all is still going perfect, then it will be on to do the tuning on the Dyno.

Thanks,Matt

just reread this thread, havent read it since you posted the video. goooodddd i love the sound of d1 and f series prochargers. freaking sick man. cant wait to see the final dyno numbers. We have so many similar parts, its not funny.
btw could you tell a big difference in the dewitts rad compared to the thin stocker ?

madmatt9471

DEWITTS Radiator = YES! it does make a huge difference by far, the extra row and being "ALL" aluminum helps bigtime - I would not do it any other way!

Thanks,Matt

Zeus-of-Boost

good cuz i just got me one and i was one the fence about spending that kinda money on a rad. glad i did now. Why did you lay yours down ? Did you have to do that to get the condensor to fit ? i know alot of peps do it

madmatt9471

I have twin intercoolers so that is not why!

That is the way it was done before they had the 2" shorter radiator to enable you to take your intake tube over the radiator for fresh cool air and before the had the Dongle from A&A

Thanks,Matt
