Ultima GTR's LS7 First Start

Wooo Hooo. Its ALIVE. This is the first start of my Ultima. I got the kit in 2/07 and just got the engine & G50/52 transaxle installed this weekend. At one point my son, Steven, pumps the throttle and the exhaust and rumble knocked some stuff off my workbench behind the car. Just before we shut it down the radiator fans came on at 95 C and the thermostat opened at about 80 C.

Good father-son activity :)

break in is a term used when the cam and lifters are mated.although the cam and cam followers are hardened they will,or can wear a lobe or lobes off and the lifter must turn in the lifter hole.the lifter has a radiused surface where it is in contact with the cam whitch is how it turns.if a new cam is left turning slowly,the lifter stands a big chance of not turning resulting in failure.this applies to flat tappet cams not roller cams and thats another story.

Thermostat opens up at 88c, 1st fan speed at 95, 2nd at 105c. get someone with hp tuners to sort that out for you. can reprogram the thermo to open at 85, 1st fan speed at lower drive speeds and off at higher drive speeds etc. also can get that idle upped on the ecu. im sure you know all this anyways. beautiful machine.
