How does it feel when it stops? Is it really hard, as if the crank or piston is hitting something solid? I assume it IS out of gear right Unless there is something fubar'd in the crankcase, you probably dropped something unto the cylinder.

You're just doing H/C/I, right? Nothing in the bottom end?

I remember having the same problem with mine, and I think it was the crank hitting the lobes on the camshaft. Put the timing chain on and all was well.

Nice should be close to what numbers I'll be seeing. Mine will probably be more when i do it. Are you changing Inj's? I have heard with that combo you should run at least 24's.

My plan is when it comes to that time Heads,cam, inj, maf, headers, rr's Think thats about it

so with my tb alone I should see a little higher #'s then you i would think
