Project Stage 1 fires tomorrow

[Otto J]

Well its time boys . Everything seems tight and in place, no fuel leaks(now), and no oil leaks during priming. (currently) But also absolutely no exhaust on her.SO i must wait till after work to turn the key on Fri. Jim is bringing over 10 gallons of C16 (THanks Jim ) So if my 4" Bullet mufflerstrapped directly to the downpipe for now.) comes tomorrow we will make the maiden voyage if no issues are found. Dyno time will be setup for sometime during the week or next weekend.
Cant wait to cruise the GN again, Now i must go live up to the new vanity plates. I will be at Etown in the end of august, Just to soon to be there Sat.

Will be having a complete mandrel 4" single out the stock location exhaust made in the near future

May be coming to see the Hawaii crew in the future, May be booking a 2 weeks stay in the islands, or a 2 week cruise there.
not sure yet

 

[Geoff87]

Let me know if you do, so we can hangout over a few beers.

Clayton (c&cgn) Just left two weeks ago. He and his wife Carla come to Hawaii at least once a year. We have a track night just for them while they are here.

Auto,

Don't forget to put oil on the INSIDE of the new engine. The outside will be well lubricated since it's a Buick.

Take the cruise. We took one to Hawaii a couple of years back. 12 days of nekkid babes on the ship ( I even got a hard one once...didn't waste it even though I was by myself at that particular time.)

So let's see. 1000 nekkid women and a new engine. Can life get any better?

 

[Otto J]

Oh it sounds so sweet. took it around the block and found a minor oil leak, which i will address in the am

 

[Cheeseburger]

Good stuff!
Look forward to hearing your new track times!

Bring it to the Wallingford Wal-Mart cruise tonite so we can see it. Would be a good break-in run.

 

[Otto J]

Just took it for a nice 60 miles or so cruise, All is well, Did a slight full throttle in 3rd to log a bit of info, Now it goes to the dyno for some tuning this week maybe sat.
Will post results.
Not to optimistic as the convertor feels to loose and i am not sure what ill cap the booost at on the dyno for the first time.

Nice to finally meet you in person. Awesome car!

Was a couple of other GN's there tonite as well. One was a NO OPTIONS car. No cruise, rear defogger, power windows, door locks, power antenna, nothing! Only 12,000 miles.
