103 Stroker flywheel

SE 50 mm throttlebody
compression releases
perfect fit pushrods

Looking forward to putting some miles on this weekend. 70 degrees and sunny. Then in for the dyno run.
I can certainly relate to the feeling. I frooze my **** last week getting some miles on b4 dyno tune. It's kust a killer trying to rack those initial miles up!!!!
Do you have a tuner selected and scheduled?
We'll sure be eagerly waiting to head how it turns out! Do keep us posted!!!!
That is very interesting. I have heard both sides.I am sorta middle of the roading it. In other words not babying it but at the same time not going full bore. Riding pretty much normal. I do think I will change the oil today after reading that article. I am big on extra oil changes on anything mechanical and I have had real good luck with all my company vehicles by requiring 3000 mile oil changes. Thanks for the article.
