So I got the engine yesterday n broke her in, 3 tanks on the box at 210 then put her on the track for 2 tanks of rolling around to a decent tune where I started hitting jumps n getting her up to temp, I brang her in at 180-210 getting the tune right, after that I did half tank of running her kinda fat on top n n hour or 2 fat from race tune on bottom, at these setting (on a very big backyard track that i drive at alot) were enough to make more power over my stock b5 on top end, I no this because we have a very tricky triple step up at the end of our strait that kinda turns left before the left n u jump while turning going up hill to a landing and basically the b5 is a 'if your lucky u can sometimes get it' kinda feeling when I do it. with this engine comes a completely new feel, it's so smooth and crisp and makes it just plain out easy to do this jump now, it was putting down traction n then right when u start turning n hitting the lip all I'd do is pull the trigger all way n it would be more then enough smooth power to just send me all the way over the landing way up top. I'll have to get a pic soon of this jump. When bring it in it would temp nice around 200 ranging up or down how I drove it. and it idles so smooth each time.

oh and the carb neck is trick (way to 1 up it from the new carbs the stock b5s got I thought those were sick) for no one who's seen these, there's like a liner of soft teflon that goes around the neck n then makes a little seal at the top to eliminates any space between the neck n the body of the carb so basically no more pushing down n tightening, trick! All in all this engine is a badass piece of werk, the engine does have a noticeable difference for me and it's what Iv wanted, in a gallon this engine is gonna have some gnarly power, I really hope it keeps running good.
