my new engine.....it´s alive!

Hey Guys,

took very long for me to put this drivetrain together, now i´m really happy - it came to life without bigger problems (my first complete home built engine). Turn up the volume and listen :D

408 cui SB, 10:1 compression, RHS X-Heads from IMM Engines, Comp XR286HR hydraulic roller cam - i expect 450-480 horses from this combination. Sounds very healthy....what do you think?

It seems that it likes 20° and more initial timing - is this normal for these strokers?

best regards

Michael
