    Fabbed it myself, it's the 99 Jeep GC fan powered by a Dakota Digital PAC-2750 controller.

    Yeah I may also have to do that. Might try adding a larger reservoir and make sure the check valve is in good order.

    Nice job. Is that the only electric fan cooling the engine?

    Ever considered hydroboost? I would be in line for a kit. Would give Hemi swap guys lots of room and no worries on vacuum for the big lumpy cam guys..

    When you say you have 15lbs at idle, is that with engine and oil up to operating temp?
    When my truck is hot and oil is not after a good run down the highway I have 22-23 lbs at idle,
    That's on an Auto Meter mech oil pres. gauge, 10w-30 weight oil also.
    I would say 15 lbs is on the low side still.
    My engine guy always wants to see 20 lbs and above at idle with everything hot.

    I'm not too concerned of that figure it was showing 15psi at a pretty hot temp (engine coolant @ 200-210°). At the 180° temp its around 20 pounds or better. Also the oil bumps right up in pressure 40-60 when revved up a bit.

    15 lbs of oil pressure at idle is fine if idle isn't more than 1000 rpm.

    Ryan still needs to clean up the tune, it bogs bad (goes very rich) quickly under moderate throttle. So far I haven't shifted past 3k and no more than ~1/2" throttle, even still it goes!! Clutch action feels pretty good and shifts clean!

    Things left to do
    1. Set fuel sync calibration
    2. Datalog
    3. Exhaust shop because too fumey w/ dumped exhaust
    4. wire up line lock
    5. get tune from FRP
    6. Test Line Lock
    7. Buy Tires!

    Took apart the timing set and it revealed I indeed was missing the oil gallery plugs. All fixed up now thanks again to Pat and Lloyd!
    I checked a block that came back from the machine shop, and it is missing the two front oil galley plugs as well. Where did you find those plugs sold individually? Or, did you have to take them from a complete freeze plug kit?

    No idea at this point, I assume they're just standard plugs:

    They were only like $12, PM me an address and I'll just mail them to you lol.
