Default It FU**IN runs!!!!!!

Took her out for her maiden voyage today, running great. Still have to dial some things in, but throttle response is excellent, boost up quick and rides the fu** out!!!! I am playing it VERY safe right now until I can get the front end aligned and start tuning it. I have to test the map sensor to make sure its going to pull timing and I am waiting on a fuel pressure gauge for under the cowl so that I can make sure the fuel pressure is going up in boost. I am only running 5 lbs right now with 20 deg total timing. It should run real nice when dialed in. All while having a/c, heat, full COMFORTABLE interior and a nice stereo system. BIG thanks to Frank, John, Shaun!!!!!

FINALLY!!!!!

For some reason I was thinking it was carbureted...

Either way, congrats. You're certainly making much quicker progress than I am man!
