The online LT1 build



OK, I'll get to the punch line right away.  We dyno tested the LT1 engine and it didn't make the power it should have.  So we killed the story in the magazine till we got everything sorted out.  Until then, I've decided to post the build so anyone who is interested can follow along.  I'll hit the highlights of the build, document the troubles I had getting the engine to run, and my best guess as to why it was down nearly 30 horsepower from where it should be. Then, I'll detail the tuning process as it happens.   This will be a regular feature on CC's website.  Keep checking in and tell your friends if you like (or hate) what you see.

John
