The results will speak for themselves at the end whether they are + or -

Knowing that leaves us in a uncharted territory and not comfortable to tuning the motor to the limits that the customer wants to get at.
The last thing I want is a blown engine on the dyno, whether is us or the customer tuning it.

My brother helped them a while back with a S2K on Boost/AEM that he was having issues getting it right. Ever since then we have been talking.

Nah that last one came in with excessive over rich tune (the dude made the mistake of telling us how he raced a vette) and once the fuel was dialed in how it should be, the car made the adequate power. Unfortunately the car experienced blow by because of a ring being gone/washed out.

Maybe an hour, give or take 10-15 minutes.
Bradley, do you have the the Motordyne bolts to go with it?

Pretty straight forward other than that though, basically taking the upper plenum off. Be sure to read the instructions to, someone I kno broke a bolt into the lower plenum because they didn't read the required torque.
