That is great Gary! Is that a no boost break in tune or a safe rich tune to be tweaked through data logging? I was anxious from the time mine started running until it came off the rollers.

The tune I don't. Know."no boost " I assume. Until both of us can data log it. Trying to let idle to run the not too old.gas out with seafoam. Once lower. I will put fresh 93 in it.and replace the plugs and log it.
I just went down the road and back.no boost and the lightest throttle I could give it.

Congrats on finishing your build, and a LONG one at that. I can only imagine how happy you are to get it back on the road. And unhappy that you can't go into boost yet. LOL! I wish you the best with it. You should have one very solid motor now. The best fun is yet to come. :)

Top up or top down? :-D
I had it up.I was.thinking of putting it down cause of the small back glass it was.very hard to see out of.I was backing out btweeen my old.truck that don't run and my car lift. But weather was nice that day.I just drove it down to my brother inlaws carlot to show him. He's the one that found the car for me. It was only a mile.down the road.so I got.2-3 miles on it.

Congrats. Looking forward to updates.
dam I just typed long post to put here and it didn't go through. Its stress too.
It take to long to post pics from my phone to here.I made an image shack. But only shows me the URL on the last pic I upload for some reason? My home PC I have not been on in almost 2 years. Is there an easier way? LMK. thanks everyone.
I hope someone will come to my recuse. That lives close to me. So I can do and send some data logging to Eric sooner than later.

Wish I could help man. You might try photobucket. Depending on your smart phone you can upload to a photobucket.com account in no time and then can copy the URL from there to this page....I think. Someone else more knowledgeable will chime in I'm sure. Good luck.
