Default Baptism By Fire

Fresh 1550 build (approx 3K miles) & I finally got an appt w/the dyno-guy today. This is my very first build, so I'm a little anxious...so many WOT runs may be a little hard on my engine, but if she makes it thru this will show durability & should be good to go for awhile. DJ250 w/TL along w/my PCIII usb should give a good tune & I'm hoping for 90HP/95TQ w/the TQ coming on early w/the very linear 'curve' the FC is known for. I have 190frt/188rear ccp & the build components are:

Big Boyz heads
SE 1550 cast FT pistons
Bored stock jugs
TW26G cams
SE Adj p-rods
D&D Fatcats
PC III usb
K&N RK-3909 AC

Y'all keep your fingers crossed for me[sm=insomnia.gif]

#1 why do you need so many WOT runs?

#2 I certainly hope he is going to adjust all your low speed, cruise etc as well.

#3 Have fun with it!

you'll make high 90's on both...if its built right, it'll run right and wont explode under the load....SERT tuning requires it to be run, read, adjusted, loaded, & run again to check...many times...lots of diff throttle positions, loads, & other parameters...SERT is much more labor intensive and takes time to get right....mine survived...now i never worry bout it cause of what it went thru
