Nice to hear you got it tuned. How is it????? I can't imagine what it's like over 4k.

I just might be able to make the 27th! That is if the weather is good. One wet day is enough for me this year. I'll be posting a video soon.

runs well, drives well, but still needs some work. i have a sc pulley bearing to install along with new belts and the tune needs tweaking. it's a work in progress still.

and yeah it was dyno'd twice but we're not quite where i want to be yet.
