I believe ya but at 2500 rpm it sound like its screaming will be finishing it up saturday morning unless I have a honey do list that I dont know about

Hey guys started the 482 today  started right up and got it to 2300 rpm it was running for about ten minutes at 195 and then it started to creep up after another two minutes it was about 215-220 lowered idle a smidge and had my buddy shut it off. Now I am running straight water during breakin and 180 thermostat aluminum edelbrock water pump CVF 5.4 inch w/p pulleys jegs electric fans 11 inch Jegs with shroud. I haven't timed it or done any carb adjustments so maybe that's why it's running a little warm. I just though with the new water pump pulley and lower compression and a little smaller cam it would have been better. I took the oil filter apart and I don't see anything bad a couple of speckles but all in all clean. What do ya think 12 minutes ain't enough of a break in for solid cam any advice will be welcome

Congrats Jay, It was a long road before you even got there, and you know everyone besides all of us were cheering for the chevy It was a great win

They sound great even over the pond

All I can say is that was brutal. Good luck hopefully the hot rod gods will be on your side this week. We re rooting for ya, keep us informed
