    That's when tuning & logging software & sensors come into play.

    It's going to be bad-ass!

    Maybe older than some of y'all, was around 12 when Grumpy Jenkins was ruling the track, and got my fever for a license. While I appreciate where things are now, this is how it began IMHO, there was no "hold my beer" even. LOL

    Sorry to hijack the post, but just support what he's doing, seems to have things pretty well handled.

    I am a little late to the party here, but coming from a nearly 40 year automotive master tech, my hats off to ya for doing this yourself, good job sir!!!

    That is a 19 hour (labor rate) job in all stock forum for a complete engine, and 23.5 hours for a long block for a pro mechanic doing it often, so for a DIYer at home in a smallish garage x2 or x3 that amount of time is normal...
