The car started last night, now I just need to do an oil change and go do some vacuum pulls to break in the motor.

It would have been for drivability, but the weather got the best of us, the car has no blower motor, window defrost, or wipers.

On a plus the car should be up at DB saturday if its not raining hard.

I was able to drive the car up to the MitsuStyle dyno day for some motor break in miles. Its about a 16mile round trip and the car drove it with out a hitch. My friend Ryan was able to ride with me for the cars first drive this year.

A few things I learned on this drive, the cold can be an issue, as I do not have a blower motor or heater core.

The coolant temps do not stay above 180 while driving down the road at high way speed, and if I turn the radiator fan an the coolant temps drop quick.

The oil temps even with running about 30psi less oil pressure then last year are up around 30-40 deg F while driving around, it was about 200 deg driving home, which any good synthetic oil can handle with out an issue. So we can see a big change in adding this much hard block to the motor, the oil is doing a lot more cooling then last year. And if the oil temps get hotter then 220 while dynoing I will just add an oil cooler and that should take care of the oil temps.

I will have some dyno time setup for later this week, then there are a few days at Grove Creek before the end of the month, I want to get the 60' working before we head back to Rock Falls, which there is a day on June 4th at the Rock I would like to get to, but we will see.

Dyno time is setup, so if it goes well I will be heading to the track Saturday for 60' testing.
