Tuning has been fun. I've finally got a reasonably stable streetable tune on it but it's starting to pull some codes for stuff I was not expecting. I got a FPDM failure code on my last tune and the damn thing is still driving. PITA m-er f-er. grrr. It's entirely my fault of course... my tune my bad. At least I've got it idling reasonably well.

This morning on the way to carpool this Elanor hooded 05+ gt pulled up next to me. You could see him dismiss it as another big-wing special but then he caught the lope of the cam and the extra loud bwap bwap bwap and kinda zoned out staring at my back wheel.

The thing is a little harder to drive with the lightweight flywheel and kevlar clutch. It just grabs all of a sudden like. Been having adjustment issues to boot so it engages at the very end of the pedal travel... like a rock but totally at the last couple inches.

I want to watch it break in... my first built modular motor and I want to see how they break in. I know what to expect from chebbie tree-fiddy's and those I'm happy to beat on those after a quick warm up and oil change but this motor cost me a lot of thousands to get in the car and I don't want to have to fix it any time soon.
