Is that when you'll switch it out to a LS3/7?

[kalib0y]

yep. got the ls3 and parts already just wanting to see where this maxes out out of curiosity first.

4 tarbos of varrying sizes & double stacked superchargers. Do it

So maybe one of you smarties can diag my issue. Motor turns over, doesn't start. Yes fuel yes spark. Timing belt is on right. Battery is known good. Has "rumbled" once or twice but will not fire up. Have tried 2 ecu's. Have clamped the fuel line after the FPR to check for pressure. Mechanical modifications are 2.8 and 19lbers.

Any ideas?

Were the valves pre adjusted to spec?

Sure the fuel lines are in the right places?

that's a freakin beast. would be even better is they changed the "n" to a "g" on their door sticker

ooohhh.... by pre adjusted i assume u mean the eccentrics? because no.. and the valves were never taken out, just took the rocker shafts out and had it cleaned and checked..

and yes the fuel lines are in the right place.... have to double check, but fuel came out of the FPR when we pulled the hose attached to it and cranked the motor, i didnt think it liked it any other way..

[ToPLeSS(e30)FeinD]

ive seen numerous pics of that cuda.. thought it was an urban myth

[E30_Pare]

That cudas so baddd. I'd be scared being next to that tranny when it explodes.

[MR 325]

Check your valve adjustment! Tight valves will make it not run.

[ToPLeSS(e30)FeinD]

wow.. i had no idea.. i just didn't have a feeler [;)] so i went as tight as i could.. looks like its a valve adjustment for me. thanks Matt. i'll check it out... maybe tonight and get back to you guys

[E30_Pare]

How u do a valve adjustment with no feeler?! I don't think my eyeballing skills are accurate at thousandths. Lol.

[MR 325]

Go to your local Oreilly or Vatozone and buy a feller gauge. I can pretty much guarantee that's why it's not running.
