Got the airfilter on as per motorheadmike.

Also got the trans stuff wired in and functioning properly. Idle is tuned to a perfect 14.0:1 afr and she is ready to move to the back garage.

Oil pressure sensor on top of the motor seems to be way off. So I'm gonna replace it and then we should be off to the races.

Unnecessary idle clip....

F’ the idle until it’s driving. As long as it starts all’s good. Oh wait a minute, you have love for this thing, I can tell by the sexy hat on the Wuhan War Whistle.

It’s much easier to treat it like a wife beater. ;)


Way to go Duke! You better break that thing in proper.

Lol, I was doing taxes and my corporate year end today so my break was doing the idle tuning. Once it's moved and I have a seat, It'll be horsepower time.

Congrats! That's a huge accomplishment. Many think well, it's just an engine swap. Nope. Much more than that.

Take your time, and hurry up. Meaning take your time street tuning and getting everything straight. Getting miles on it and working out all of the little crap makes the power tuning easier - at least it does for me. I’ve found it’s easier to make 5lb, then 8lb, 12lb, 15lb street hits for 2-3 seconds to make sure everything is right. After that I’ll guess you’ll be out of traction and the data gathered while spinning is a not worth looking at.

The sloppy mantra, an hour a day. Now that the core systems are mostly OK, I am excited again to get it togetherfor cruising.

Always in the first week of June. It’s on the 4th and 5th this year.


You know they have racing there too right?
