Hey guys. I am almost finished putting my car back together. Here is my setup

9:1 Forged Supertech Pistons
Eagle Rods
ARP Rod Bolts
ARP Head Studs
Freshly Rebuilt Bottom End
Holset H1C Turbo
TurboSmart Wastegate
Tial 50mm BOV
Competition Clutch Stage 5

My goal is to make about 400 whp on pump gas. I was wondering since the motor is freshly rebuilt how should I go about breaking it in? I was thinking right after we finish puttin it back together tow it to my tuner and break it in on the dyno that way. Then I thought about the clutch how should I go about breaking that in if I do decide to break it in on the dyno?

The other question I wanted to ask was: what tires should I go with? I am going to be picking up a set of Falken Azenis for daily use. I wanted to know what Drag Radial choice I had to choose between. BFG Or Mickey T? Im leaning toward Mickey T but will I have to modify my fenders to make them fit?

Also could I buy a GM 3 bar map sensor from a local parts store and if so what car would I order one from?

And the last question is what kind of should I use for my turbo car?

thanks in advance guys

 

Your gonna get different answers on this one b/c its like asking what is your favorite flavor of ice cream. I can tell you this if you break it in hard then change the oil right after your motor will run better (compression) in the long run from experience. Break it hard on the street or dyno. http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

dont worry about tires if your going on a Dynapack. and Falkons for daily wont grip at 400whp believe me.

Lastly i would buy a 4 bar Omni and call it a day. Direct fit and available from many site sponsors. http://laskeyracing.com/shop/mapsensor.htm

good luck

 

Thanks what tires would you recommend for daily use? and yea I think that omni is what I am going to go with

 

i break mine in by-

start up, check AFRs, once oil pan gets warm to touch, shut off and change oil.

head to dyno and tune it, change oil then drive normally.

no problems with that

 

since its for the street it would say just go with what ever name brand you can get a good deal on. Your always going to have traction problems anywhere near that much power on the streets
