I'm excited for you man. Get the wife to video the maiden voyage. Are you going to data log or just watch gauges?

I do have a start up video on my phone but im not sure how to get it off or post. I have a droid so anyone who knows how i can send them the file. I also have to figure out why the egt gauge goes crazy after the car runs for awhile.

85% of it was dont last fall when it was still 50-60. i did the electrical this winter when it was 25-30. Where the car is it's protected from the wind. I hunt all winter long so its nothing a set of underarmor and carhartt artic liners with fleece cant cure. I really do not have a issue with the cold unless im in the wind or it hits low teens. Knowing what the car could be was enough to keep the project going.

The car will not be driven untill i can set up a base tune (waiting on Kane). on the stock(access port map) it is running -10 ltft but the car is still holding to the 14.7 A/F at idle. the g/s hold pretty solid at 5.

It's not a car, it's a hovercraft.
I think Kane is coming back this week. Good for him and for you. You can get it back on the road.
