I will see how it runs... I got the tune from JDM and was quiet surprised that it started like it did. I mean, that video was honestly the very first full run the car has had. I will see how it goes once I get it on the road and go with it from there. I may just data log back and fourth to get it right...

I am glad you trusted JDM to help you out, we will see you in Bradenton since it is running, correct!

Yes I am pretty anxious... But I don't want to run it hard yet... Let everything settle in and make sure the tune is right. It runs very very rich for the first couple minutes and then will die itself out after some RPMs So I don't think it's just perfect yet. But I trust we will get that all worked out...

But I did try and get an exhaust video... Tried my best...

haha yeah, I will get everything together soon. But man, this next work week is going to be rough. I know the car will be on the road but I don't know about the suspension... :/

Curt Cobain called, he wants his shirt back!

Awesome Bruce! You really got a shit load done on this thing in the last couple weeks. Hell, I think it was just, what, two weeks ago when I stopped by and your engine compartment was full of wires!! Congrats man! Can't wait for the NMRA's so I can see it in person

With only 10" of vacuum don't be surprised if you need a vacuum canister or even a vacuum pump to decent brake performance.

Then again maybe I'm just barely good enough to not need any vacuum extras. :)

But, I've never heard of brake issues with the Thumprs so far. I guess we'll see when Boozy drives around a bit.

Thanks for the heads up, I will be sure to be careful. I did notice however that when I gave it a little gas, it raised to about 20... I will be sure to be easy on it until I know for sure I have brakes!!!

I hope to take a test drive on Sunday!
