Goin' Miami to Tampa, FL on Saturday (1 day) with a BRAND NEW MOTOR !
I might be heading up to Tampa on Saturday and then driving back to Miami the same day (evening). I am going to pick up a block that I bought for my girl's car.
This is what's up...turbo LSVT, I am just about to finish the break-in period on the teg, at 700 miles today and should hit at least 1000 by Friday night.... BOOST TIME !!! Right now, the piping is in place and MBC set to minimum. I plan to change the oil before I leave (should I switch to Synthetic now ?) and doing up the tire pressure, tightening lugs, etc...
I plan on setting the MBC to 5-6 psi as I am still on stock fuel + FPR. Any suggestions as far as what I should do to keep her running right on the way ? I would like to play with her on the highway, but will be doing loads of 5th gear cruising. Should I run a particular oil or a particular viscosity ? I am going to be running stock timing. Where should I set the fuel pressure for a trip like this ? It's a damn shame I don't have 6 gears !
PS, wouldn't mind meeting any HTer's in the area when I go... I am going to be close to Windbrush Dr. in Tampa.

I live in Tampa. Who are you buying the motor from? If you don't know them, chances are, I do. That way, I can tell you if the person is straight up or not

My girl's uncle lives in tampa. Like four blocks away from busch gardens. I went like 4 years ago and there was a nice speed shop down the block from busch gardens. Then in front of my girls uncle house there was a **** load of civics and integras( Like six of them) on some guys yard. It's a nice and quiet place to live. It's better than Philly any day..
