Very nice nick.

............."Very Relaxed Tech". I had a ball there in March, that's when Dennis hurt the transmission we all did the 3 day turnaround on!

Thanks for the info Guy, I sure would like to be there on the 11th, but I am headed back East for the Turbo Buick.com event next week in North Carolina, and also will visit with other friends as well, so I will not return until May12.

Nick did those inner fenders become available for sale. Or are they custom built local only.

Local only. They have to be fitted to each car. Working in a third set for another local.

Yesterday was a nice day for a ride so it was time for a ride in the Limited for the first time after the tuning was done and all seemed ready.

Started right up after sitting a couple weeks ran nice idled fine. After a warmup, went about 1/2 mile and then put about 10 psi boost feel the response and did not sound right?

Made an immediate u-tune for the garage, and it was running like crap, like on 5 cylinders?

After checking, cyl no. 3 was not happy, and the picture shows why?

A few "tuning sessions", we have had similar results, but problems like this reminds us that no matter how careful and conservative we are when tuning a new build, stuff happens?

Hope that I can at least have the head installed before I leave for the East coast tomorrow.

Exactly!

Sorry to see that, Nick.

 

[Nick Micale]

The head was freshened and surfaced, and is bolted on the engine. The intake and header will have to wait until I return next week.

It pays to have a great association with your engine builder which is only a mile away!

 

[Boost231]

Yes it does... your very lucky

Looks like a firecracker was used to bust it out.

Wonder what 20 psi would have looked like?
