Re: 4cyl to V8 Conversion

Yo Pete,

Brooke and I started the Mudstain last Sunday, It fired up and runs great.
I was really worried about the pee-pee 1/8 inch roll pin that came with the MSD steel distributer gear. I talked to the MSD tech line guys and they told me there had been no problems with the small pin that they were aware of. The OEM pin is 3/16.

Anyway, this thing is an animal, it hits the 7000 rpm chip so freaking quick its amazing!
We set the shift light at 6600 but the light hardly shuts off between shifts.

I think we will be going with a 3500 chip in the two step for launch, a 7200 in the 6AL box for max RPM and 7000 chip for the shift light, and go from there.

One more thing, Brooke is going to run a Dedenbear delay box, which I don't like but he is insisting on it. Do you have any experience with one of them?
