Ok, engine is cooled and timing has been adjusted.
Maybe tomorrow I will fire it up, warm it up and put the timing light back on it to check.

Then I think I am all go; except for the tune, as the ECU still doesn't know what size the engine & injectors are. (It is being worked on though)
You should see the black soot that comes out the exhaust at the moment :spew:

That's a good thought actually.
Engine is 17% bigger, cam has 30% more lift, intake valves have 8% bigger area. INJECTORS are 80% bigger.
I haven't gone far in it, 25min cam run in + 19km street driving.
But I think I will follow your advice and let it sit until the tune is ready. (Hopefully end of this week)

Well I picked up the new Tune today, (Big thanks to Immortality) I might pop it in tomorrow after work and try it out.
Then it's time to arrange the more fine tuning with the wide-band and maybe even some full throttle passes at the track to be sure it is at it's best there too :)
