Project86... I deserve the hate...

There is still really no good update here, except that the new motor has about 12 dyno miles on it and we have done runs first with the old setup and then with the new plenum. That showed a 28 whp gain at peak power over the same run done immediately beforehand with the old setup. Again, these are runs done on a newly rebuilt motor and the seals have not bedded in yet. So, the absolute numbers are not valid, but the differences are. I hope that's clearly said? Here's a quick video of the motor with the new plenum, but not the new headers. Sounds pretty good to me.

The NEW HEADERS ARE INSTALLED and we are going to run it again this afternoon and see what difference the new headers make. Logan thinks 20 ft pounds, which would be awesome. I will post up something tonight or tomorrow.
