    One bad Eta

    Finally got my new (1500 mile) 2.8L stroker dyno tuned. Megasquirt and tuning were done by Derek aka blueapplesoda here on the forum. The engine is rebuilt top to bottom with the help of H&H Flatheads in La Crescenta, CA. Car was tuned this past Tuesday morning and made 184whp & 191 wtq. The intake air temps were very high, car should make more power once I get a airbox/heat shield on there and go from a 2.5" intake pipe to a 3" pipe.

      Nice, looks like it put down some good numbers. I am considering building a 2.8 to boost or just boosting the 2.7i i have now.

              I'm gonna leave NA. The MS seems pretty good, still need to adjust a few things but overall I like it.

                  Very cool build. I like that you're staying N/A but running MS. Seems like not a lot of people do that.

                  Props to you man.

                    Thanks. I would like to break 200whp with a little more mods and fine tuning.
