Picked it up today after some more tuning. Pics and hopefully a little vid tomorrow for you guys.

THE GOOD

**Runs 8.7 psi off the spring, FULL boost by 2800 rpm - the GT28 with the smaller A/R choice (.64) was totally the way to go.
**Runs very smoothly, much better than before. Idle is adjustable (along with everything else), no more rpm hunting.
**Art programmed a two-step rev limiter. If the e-brake is pulled (enough to light the dash light), it sets the first rev limiter -- this is a great and easy way to do a launch control. Can't wait to drag race this car.
** All dash gauges still work! Speedo, fuel gauge etc., so the dash has its own ECU, doesn't need the main one.
** The xB pedal/cable/TB/intake mani ROCK. So responsive! I love cable throttles.

THE "BAD"

It needs more tuning, not ready to beat up on at 5000+ rpm yet. Might need different coils. Might need bigger injectors Going to drive "safely" until next thursday when we can go at it again. Trying to get it tuned to a certain point when we can do the motor swap. Not quite there yet, but the car is quite drivable.

THE WEIRD

The electronic power steering doesn't work any more. I know it has its own control unit and relay -- wondering if it is somehow linked to the ECU. Anyone know? Meanwhile... I actually LIKE it! Not that easy when idling, but once under way the car has a much better feel. I may do a DIY on how to disable your power steering so you can try this.

Ok = that's all for tonight!
