Tango Start-up!!!

[LS7TANGO]

Well chaps I'm one happy bunny - finally got the 'Tango' fired up today for the first time. Car started on the button and as yet haven't seen any leaks......run the engine upto temp until the fans cut-in - around 88degC - so at the moment everything is looking good. Only one small issue is that the Stack tacho isn't working which is a bit of a b*****r - not gonna worry about this small niggle though as overall very, very pleased with myself!!! Hopefully post a vid on you-tube later today in the meantime here's some piccies of the final install:




Car is booked in for the SVA in April so hopefully be hitting the road sometime in May.....fingers crossed for Stoneleigh!

Sweet.
Sounded a bit over advanced when first turning over but may just be that the ECU had not established its timing reference.

Left bank looks abit lean and number 5 Spark plug needs a clean but apart from that, sounds realy tame... almost a Sleeper.. apart from the Colour...

Now when's the first drive

[CanAm Dave]

Congrats mate that sounds really good! And a very nice installation!

Regards Dave

If it's a GM ECU you may need to set the tacho to a 4 cylinder setting.

[Soovy]

Oh lord. What a machine.

You lucky man.

[Pb3]

Well done Simon looking really good, one more step closer to that SVA.

Good to meet you the other day, although not sure where you disappeared to, so I guess the next meet will be Stoneleigh, and you can show all us SBC guys up!

[LuckyP]

I hate you more and more with each passing day.

Fantastic mate. Keep up the pace

[dirty boy]

Well done Simon, can't wait to see it out and about

[qwick]

He can bring it along but he won't win the sound-off.

At 117 dB that will be me! Must hurry up and work on my new exhaust system!

Very nice set up! I love the intake. What is that? Did Jeff source the brackets for moving the coils to the end of the heads? What else did he do to the LS7 to juice up the hp?
