Great job Sam!

Idle sounds very smooth with the ZR-1 cam. That should become a popular FI cam since it is reasonably priced with stock-like idle and good bump in power. What are you shooting for as far as final numbers?

I'm going to break it in over the next week, then I need my fuel pump replaced (it is on its way out, going with a C6Z fuel pump and keeping the BAP for now I think) so I think I'll have ECS do that and a tune if the cost seems reasonable. Otherwise it goes back into the lab and I replace the pump myself (really don't want to do that ). I am also still waiting on my meth tank, so this tune won't be final.

I know! 630RPM idle and I did not do any tuning to it yet other than sort out the injector sizing!
I'm, not really shooting for numbers here since they are just that -numbers, but I would be very happy to see it make something in the 700WHP range.
