o it runs great...like a bat out of hell... it's starting to clear up.. my builder said it was fine and anew motor smoke a little bit until the rings get set... but then again i know nothing about having a new motor

how did you do the startup tune,,,,and did you have any problems with the knock sensor??
 
Very common to get a little smoke until the rings seat. Should not be a problem at all. Congrats on the build.:burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

Thats what I was thinking HiPo rings usually take longer to seat. You should have no problems just giver another 500 miles before you run er like a raped aped.jmo:burnout: :burnout: :marchmellow:

:( i've been beating on it pretty hard.... i pulled a z06 on the interstate today lol form 3rd 4th and he finally passed me after i had to get into 5th but he had to catch up from a little over a truck length lol:rock: poor guy still had paper plates it looked like a 06 model
 
Good luck with your ENGINE :p :D :D :D
 
from my experience when a motor smokes on start up i always check for crossed wires
