Wow, I thought I updated this more often. I got the engine fired up, and drove around the block a couple times on open headers. Engine runs like a top.

I installed the Summit 2.5" exhaust kit, and the mufflers from the kit actually make it sound really good. Maybe I'll make a sound byte this week.

I had some trouble with my RPMs. Got a whole bunch of ideas from Moparts members - kickdown, torque converter slipping, bad third gear, etc. It turned out that the tach was on the wrong tach setting (for four cylinders), and was showing about double RPM

Because I didn't figure this out until AFTER I got home from Baconfest and Mopar Alley, I left the Demon at home this weekend and took the Mini to the shows. I missed my deadline of having it ready for Baconfest 09, but at least it turned out the transmission is alright

Anyway, I hope to get some pictures and video this week for y'all.
