[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16667697, member: 70025"] Thank you tones! Yes, I think when I get it all sorted out she will party with the best of them LMAO! Thank you Todd! I was wondering how it would sound uncapped and it is awesome! Yeah, I have to admit the MSD box deal is funny being I didn't hook up the wire that actually turns the box on. Glad it runs now though. I stress when things don't work and you have to "figure" out what the problem is. Always nice when it's simple. Thanks Bob! Yes sir it is a self learning system. And you're right the cooling temperature sensor must let the computer know how cold the car is which also contributes to the fuel curve. So, technically I cannot let the car get hot enough to get out of the cold start setting. Thank you Todd! I've always had high aspirations for this car. My Dad always tells me I'm over building the car. However, I don't mind. I'm building it for me, not the profit margin LOL. I am not opposed to a Texas SVTP car rally. My oldest daughter actually lives in Dallas. So, I may trailer the car out there one day for a show or something. So, Dallas might be a good car rally spot for me. Hello Torquerules!
