famous bob said
I`VE LIT MY 505 WEDGE 3 TIMES,WORKING OUT SMALL BASKET CASE PROBLEMS (NO BASKETS) ON A 5 YR. BUILD. THE 2.0 HAS REALLY LEVELED OUT AND RUNNING SMOOTH, MAY HAVE IT TIMED A LITTLE FAST FOR 91 OCTANE, NOT SURE. BUT THE F.I. SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT. HAD A HEATING PROBLEM, GRIFFIN ASSURED ME THAT THE 28X19 ALUM. 1 1/4" 2 CORE WOULD COOL IT, HASN`T SO FAR. GOING TO INSTALL A BACK UP ELEC. FAN WHEN IT GETS HERE, RUNNING A SHROUDED 17" MECH., THAT SEEMS TO BE MOVING A WHOLE LOT OF AIR BY ITSELF, WE`LL SEE.

AWESOME! It's about time you got off your keester and fired that puppy up. How much have you driven it? - Or are you still tuning in the garage?

We're running a 3 core Champion aluminum with the 383. My son has not opted to use the EVANS Waterless coolant with it but I wish he would. I know at $52 per gallon it's pricey but I sure like the idea of protecting all of those aluminum parts from corrosion. I'm pretty sure that he'll switch if we have a cooling problem. I assume you're running an aluminum water pump. I'd read awhile back about several of them having problems with insufficient porting and they were causing cooling issues. I know we checked ours by comparing it to the stock cast housing to make sure we had a good one. They say the bad ones have much smaller ports.

When I saw the CAPS I figured you were just trying to convey how excited you were that the monster is running.
