Took her out for a good shakedown yesterday and today... Got the harnesses installed, only thing left to do is the headlights.

Removing all that weight from the car has made it VERY tossable, and the stretched rear tires make it super-easy to hang the tail out now... It almost feels like she wants to "wag her a$$" at the traffic behind!

Still need a fine-tune on the Biki to get the rev limiter bumped up and clean up the real rich settings we dialed in for the street tune... 18 psi means no traction in first, very little traction in second, and still boils the rears when slipping into third.

God forbid we find another 30-40 hp on the dyno tune... I'll probably pull it back down to a bar.

All told, I couldn't be happier - Just took it for a blast up to the corner store and was giggling like a damn schoolgirl the whole way.

awesome Greg, you have made me really jealous but really, congrats, and if you find some more power on the dyno, take it and love it like a child, there is never TOO much power!

schoolgirls FTW!!!!

You need to get some video done up.. mount a camera in car or something and post it up. Please!!! I won't get to drive mine for another 4-5 months... I could really use a little boosted 'vert video.

What's the est. hp now? 400ish?

I second, third and fourth the videos! Would love to see some tire smoke with her a$$ hanging out at a 45! I'm in the same boat as the rest of you... Winter is here, even if my very were finished now, can't really drive her til next spring.

Post a nice Dyno plot too! We all love numbers!

Cheers!
