Mind you, this story is like watching a 4 hour movie sitting on a bar stool Going this far, have you considered the run in. If I had the coin, I'd do it on the dyno. Gotta tune it anyway and this way you get things right straight up IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong AFRs etc with fresh rings means poor initial bite and loss of power. You really only get one shot at it and dyno is the way to go. Good luck and I would expect 330 ish with your combo plus the advantage of much better oil pump, springs, etc so should do it all day long. Cheers, Bomber.

I say to everyone, if your gonna mod your car, build the engine first! and this crap wont happen, make sure you find a tuner who actually knows what they are doing! not some back street 2 dollar idiot. lol I have a xr6T 05 BA which has 270kws but that's how I bought it, its staying that way cuz my other car ive put 40k into.. and I did the same thing modded the crap out of it, but didnt build the engine till it was too late, ran 1.45.02 at eastern creek track on 28psi, great time for a street car with sh*t setup, but next day it started missing etc.... hairline cracked piston!! But now all good I look forward to some dyno sheets after you get everything going!! Should be SAAAWEEET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
