I'll be interested to see how it perfroms with the program you currently have. I might have to send my gear over to you for some "remote control" fine tuning over the phone.

I'm hoping it'll make some good numbers. With the cam and other bits I'm hoping to smash the 400 RWHP mark.
I'll definitely be in touch when it comes time to fire it up again, Thanks Bobby. Initially my main concern is the idle adjusment. It should be pretty easy to set with the screw adjuster but it's just finding the best starting point without pushing the IAC past the end of it's range.
Cheers

You should be able to unplug the IAC and set the throttle stop manually. Aim for a lowish idle of around 500 rpm (Auto's idle at 550). I have your idle set at 750, so the IAC will make up the difference.
It is best to have the throttle blade/s cracked a little bit for two reasons: a; the IAC doesn't have to work as hard, and b; it reduces the "off idle sensitivity" that comes from the instant rush of air as the throttle is opened.

Looks great Mike, is that a progressive throttle body?.
Looks very similar to the mass-flo injection system. Does it use a MAF meter inside that air cleaner.
I really like that system. Vintage look with all the benefits of injection.
Would look much better on a ford though.

Now that's a nice retro look. 
You know, it would look even better polished, has fantastic curves and plenty of visibility.  |

Mike's a very adaptable dude, I'm sure he will:
1. Adapt the oval ford cobra air cleaner to hide the origin of the engine.
2. Mill up some adaptors to fit the ford finned tappet covers.
That should make it perfect.

He may even mount a dummy distributor?
Looks like I have been beaten to it.

Hi Les,
Yes it is a progressive jobbie. There is no MAF inside the air cleaner, the LS1 runs very well MAFless. The ECU gets enough data from the TPS, MAP and O2 sensors. The HSV GTS300 runs MAFless from the factory.
I'm pleased with the traditional look of the thing. Gives it a much more old school look.
Cheers

I'm running the stock cam for the moment but I picked up a Texas Speed and Performance "Magic Stick 4" from the US along with dual valve springs, Ti Retainers and a bunch of other engine internals.
The MS4 cam is fairly huge for a hydraulic roller. The specs are as follows:
Duration @ 0.050
Intake: 239
Exhaust: 242
LSA: 111
Lift @ Valve
Intake: 0.649
Exhaust: 0.609
Cheers

Mike,
Nice
It looks like you could whip up a turkey pan to fit that set up and get the cold air benefits. It would also look the goods.
Not that I really need you to be making more power, as I sit right in that class you're targeting 
Guess I'll just have to go on a diet to start closing the gap..

Guys (semi related to the above post), how do these things handle on the track? All that power, minimal weight and not a lot of science in the engineering - are they a handful at 10/10ths?
