Already have one in my garage. It's for a friend's exhaust were building. But I'm going to do some mock-up fitment on my car with it first. If it works I'll buy one.

What kind of hot oil pressure do you have?

Idles at like 18, cruise 50ish? No idea otherwise. Would have to look at logs.

ok. mine is pretty low at idle on the same pump you have. probably 15 or so with semi-syn T5. I am a little gun shy on oil pressure since my oil pump failure.

Virtual dyno wants to see throttle position near 100 (not sure exactly what, but I usually set the log to 100)
fixed log attached. Looks like comfortably over 300 torques

Was that a misfire I heard @ ~ 5400RPM or did you hit a bump in the road??

Could have been either. I haven't definitively solved my misfire issue. Just haven't​ had one for 3 days and a couple hundred miles now.

Just looked at logs.

16-24psi at idle. Right below 90psi at 7500rpm.

When do you plan on having it running?

With the way I do things, 69 years is a good guess. Right after I decide I suddenly need to build my block.
