So far it's running good. I got it good and heat soaked yesterday, hot oil pressure is mid 30's at idle in park. By 3000 rpm it's 60 and I've only had it up to 5600rpm so far and it was 72psi.
I can feel it getting stronger with every drive. Haven't went 100% throttle yet but it appears I lost about 1psi boost. Not sure how long to wait before doing a full wide open pull. I've just been putting good heat cycles on it and varying load and boost. I'll drain the second batch of oil at the 100-200 mile mark and then run another batch of break in till 500.

Ya. I gave it a couple wide open pulls last night. I talked with TSP as they built the short block and they said after a good heat cycle and oil change let it rip. So I did. Working on the tune, it really seems to like timing.
The 2.8 pullley is giving me around 15psi

No doubt. Right now I am still not pushing it as hard as I did my LQ4, I just had the tune conservative until it got some time on it. Being a 100% new motor I wanted it safe and have starting working it back to where it should be.

Engine is nice and quiet, it's running well. It's very torquey considering the cam size. It's had a handful of wide open pulls so far, no videos though. The 2.8 pulley is showing close to 15psi. I need to build a 5" intake now to better feed the 102mm
