Thank you. It’s been a long 2 1/2 years, I’m ready to get back out there and put it to use.

Do you know what target AFR worked best on the dyno? Curios as I've only viewed Holley GCF's using methanol. Bosch or NTK sensor?

On the dyno I know we were on the rich side. There were two oxygen sensors, one for the EFI, the other for a dyno gauge. Both read differently so we didn't really rely on them much for tuning since it was a different ECU and different oxygen sensors. I have the car setup for dual NTK sensors.
We will get into the refine tuning once we can get the car on a chassis dyno. The engine dyno doesn't load the engine the same and the tuneup is different. When we did the first fireup in the car we had to start taking fuel out for idle and part throttle.

FabmanAir inlet temp sensor.
Remote mounted Idle Air Control valve. My engine builder custom made the spacer to fit the intake plenum opening then machined it to be able to connect the remote IAC.
IAC is mounted hidden under the cowl panel.

I bought it from Kinsler Injection. Yes, complete as seen in the picture.

GoobWere you able to dyno the engine with those headers? I may have missed it...
Those collectors look like HP.
