Hey Gang,
I wanted to break in my new engine at JWE. They quoted $800 for the engine dyno procedure, plus whatever needed to tune it. A little pricey for my modest means.... Any other way to break in a race engine on a rear wheel dyno or by driving around the neighborhood without getting a ticket? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Bill P. |

My engine is the 2.7L 6 I ran last year. New bearings, rings, and such. Cam, pistons, crank, were all good. I had the heads and cylinders resurfaced....
The next open track day with a reasonable price is Trackmasters at Infineon on February 6th. The PCA-TT series starts a week later. Do I just start out at 5K rpm limit for the first session, then go to 6K for the second? and so on? Or is it really best to hook it to the JWE dyno (I'd have to pull the friggin engine that just went back in..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) and just give it to them. I want the best longevity I can get. Or do I pay the speed merchant or the mustang shops to break it in on their rear wheel dynos? Thanks, Bill P. |
