can't wait to see the results I wish this was my motor. No, Phil just finished mine. Mine's an anemic little M6 C5 that runs around with only 460-470 RWHP. I just wanted something for running out to the grocery store, etc. Phil'S getting a set of 3.90's for me which should help it a little. Phil's tuning is second to none.
That's Phil's personal motor.

I like your set-up from the intake down. What couplers did you use? Did you custom build the ducting? Will it hook directly into a vararam? The colors look great with the valve covers and intake.
Good luck with it.

Whats funny, we fired up Sam's car and after it warmed up we noticed that the LTFT weren't cycling. It was an old SD program. We're definitely going without the MAF and speed density 100%.

so the CR you are running does not require you to run race fuel?

The compression then isnt a fuction of displacement then (static compression) but rather the displacement starting from the point the intake valve closes relative to the piston's position. Static compression such as his 12.3:1 is what it would be if the piston was building compression from the bottom of the cylinder and the intake valve was closed while in that position which is never the case.
