there is almost no doubt in my mind or even in the engine builders mind this thing is about 300 hp at the wheels..

and it's still running on stock ECU, stock speed density, and stock injectors..

i guess i never posted that here...

i ended up having 3.55's... idk how i made the mistake of having 4.10s but i dont.. but will again eventually

and yes i have a dyno near by... will do it once i get a thousand miles or so on it..



a problem i'm running into is that cause the factory speed density is going WTF?!?!?!? cause the camshaft is producing a lower vacuum it thinks it has some throttle imput...

so it says put fuel in.. then O2 sensor says to much fuel... pull fuel out..

so the idle surges up and down and eventually sometimes dies at stop lights in gear..


but hopefully the ecu will eventually learn.. if not i'll go Mass Air Flow..

Sounds Good Chris!! I may be off base a little here idk for sure, my thinking is you may have to add a programable performance chip to the ecu to reset the peramitters if im thinking correctly..it doesnt know the changes you made in stock form.Something you may want to look into before adding on other items imo.

The only other things I'm going to add are a adjustable fuel pressure regulator and a shift kit in the trans... The fuel pressure regulator will help with the surging..

Any idea what you've got into this thing? I'm thinking about buildinging a similar engine, but with iron heads and a turbo for a 78 Fairmont.
