...and is on it's 3rd batch of oil. So, I decided to make a full throttle pass on the 'vert for the first time. HO-LEE *****! I have no numbers but I figured it's peak is probably up a few hundred RPM from stock. 5200 came up instantly. The 1-2 shift was nice and firm but I can't say for sure if it "chirped" as it never hooked. Yes! I finally have a traction problem. WOO-HOO!

I backed out of it there as the nose was pointed toward the curb and I had the steering wheel at full left lock. I can't WAIT to get it tuned as it's definitely running rich.

Yeah, it's been running since October but I didn't want to screw anything up hence so little usage. Plus, it's not eye burning, black smoke, pig rich but you can smell it a bit. I don't think it's too bad. But, it was a nice sunny day and I had to move it out of the garage to work on my daughter's car. I couldn't resist!
