Re: Project Corvette

For sure Brandon, well see if i have any boost leak tests, but that compression ratio change is quite large in drop. Stock is around 10.5:1 I think on a stock 6.2 liter. This engine is a 7 liter.

Yea I tried putting that in last night but have to redrill the holes since i braced the radiator better and it moved it a little forward.

Also ordering the lower air dam peices that create vacuum under the engine to pulll hot air out. Previous owner must have scraped them off, they are made to be replaceable and scrape. Im also relocating the license plate as it blocks flow to the intercoooler and radiator. Removed that last night, wish I could just leave it off...

New motor probably runs a tad hotter because more friction, plus this oil is break in oil. But after some researching, 226 is fairly normal on a hot day.
