Hey guys I finally got the car on street again. I had some clutch disengaugement problems so the trans had to come out 4 times and a new south bend DXD OFC clutch was installed.
I have 30 miles on the new motor breaking it in good with alot of engine decell and 2 gear wide open pulls thew 3rd to load the engine well. I am not seeing any oil smoke out the tale pipe eather. The only thing I am having a problem with is I cant get past 5 psi of boost but it may be that I turned the MBC down becuse I had it at 15 psi before the rebuild. I did a compression test on it tonight with the engine hot and come up with 160 psi straight across. This is after 30 miles and 3 oil and filter changes (10/40 petrolum) . I was expecting around 170 with the 8.5:1 pistons and head work I had done. I also am using the stock .054 head gasket. See my vehicle info for engine and other work done. Thanks Kris
