I don't think there is much out there as far as motor mount mods. If you do decide to go with solid/polyurethane mounts, the motor would vibrate to no end. I didn't even entertain the idea after seeing how the motor vibrates when under load.

OK here is my final update.

I sorted out the fuel problem awhile back, then had a coil pack go bad, and decided to get a different set of injectors Injector dynamics 725cc (original ones were RC 550cc).

Went back to the dyno. This time tuned on Dynapack. Last tune was on dynojet. Decided on dynapack since it could sustain loads at different RPM so I could tune for better gas mileage........

508.6 RWHP and 530+ torque at 1.2 bar. I decided to stop there although my tuner wanted to go up on the boost and the motor still had some left in it. But since I won't be driving the car on higher boost, I decided to call it a night. This is likely the last update....unless I get crazy and decide to see what my baby can really do.

When in June are you coming down? I will be gone for the beginning portion, but if you are here when I'm around you are more than welcome to ride. Heck you can drive it since you're already an FI'd brother!

I'll get crazy when I come closer to selling the car. But for now, I think this is more than enough for a daily driver.

Nah! I figure if he makes a long trip out here and he wants a ride, you can't tell that much by just sitting on the passenger side. You tell much more by feeling it from the driver's seat.

If I do destroy the motor, I'm not gonna rebuild it. That will just hasten my need to get a new car. My plan is to have a new car before I sell it. That way if I do destroy the motor, I will have something in hand so I won't be pressured into rebuilding it.

Cool! Great numbers...508 whp at 16-17 lbs of boost. That seems pretty much in line with what I have seen most of the FI V8's doing...The few that exist, that is...I bet it is fun to drive. I hope you push it again. It would be nice to see a UZ crack 700 WHP in the USA.
