Awesome news Bill! Way to stick it out. I bet it wasn't easy.

Your car is a fine example of a man who must have his car concurs clean at all times. I applaud your work and choice of brew too!

Rock it!

I can't believe you posted a video of a minor taking a swig. We'll call that strategic video editing where it just looks like that is what is going on. Perhaps he was the last to drink and you just edited the video out of order before you poured in some A&W?

Of course then there is the drinking and then doing burnouts.....

Nice video editing Jed.

btw.. and yes I know there are no burnouts in the video but I know it happened.

Thanks all!

Thanks to Jed for making me that killer video too!

Currently have around 280 miles, so I'm roughly halfway there to break-in.

Running the provided Brenspeed tune right now. After break-in, I'll most likely get it dyno tuned, shop TBD. Until then, I can't venture into full boostland.

Scothew, only reason why we didn't crack the bottle on the nose was because we wanted to drink some! Not to mention it probably would've deployed the airbags.

Oh yeah, it was A&W for Chris.

Woops. Right, new engine. No burnouts for you. Not yet anyway. Would be interesting to see what the AF is like on the brenspeed. Was it a mail order? I thought they only did the centrifugal setups in house and saleen with mail order.

Bill, I'm behind the times. What happened to cause a new engine rebuild?

Did the Boost-a-pump crap on you, and the motor went boom?
