One other thing I want to point out, I forgot all about swapping to 1.18" from the 1.06" bars. The car itself is WAY more solid and rigid, the stuff im used to like the car twisting when you hit the throttle to the point of needing some steering correction, are a memory. The ride honestly feels no different than before, but it has been a while since ive been in the seat. Things left do headliner windshield repaint grille hook rear brakes with prop valve and park brake. put interior in roof rail weatherstrip new rollers for pass rear quarter window put in another fan relay figure out the idle drive through a parade to throw candy at people.

Went on ring seating hellride today. Made about 10 hard pulls with the autotune feature on the MS3 doing its thing. Still struggling to get a nice surge free idle lower that 11-1200 rpm. Drove up and over hills with a constant temp of about 205 with one fan only working. The thing really starts to come alive at about 5000 rpm is all im gonna say. Only had nerve for 6000 rpm today. Dash gauge was in the 11.6-12.2 under full throttle/load. Honestly doing this with a laptop on your lap that the sun makes almost impossible to see, reading the speedo,tach and afr gauge with goggles on because there is no windshield is not exactly ideal. Probably going to drop the oil and cut open filter and put in some 5w30 Valvoline I have sitting in the corner for another 500 miles. Haha that sounds awesome!

I guess I should update this a bit. Headliner is done And made a remote axle breather Car is a blast But its a little bit of a porker after all the beefy handling/braking bits and the cage, it weighs 3480 without driver....

No, its in a happy place at 2,000. I have tested lugging it and had to take some timing out below 2500. I can excellerate up from 80 mph to pass no problem also, no ping, no surge, no chugging it just pulls happy.
