So Far the Motor is up and running with open headers. The supercharger is not running right now due to the belt walking off the crank pulley. The pulley spacer will be machined down about .25 so that the belt will not walk off again. Heres some photos i took today.

The FAST setup is a gravy install. It can't be any easier. Its all plug and play pretty much when i got it from Jims Performance. Looks to be pretty easy to tune and very user friendly.

Do you have a web site for the place where you got yours? Was it difficult to learn? I'm sure it has its advantages and disadvantages to prom burning. I think though with your setup, it was wise to go with it. But then again, others might want to disagree. later

www.Jimsperformance.com, hes local to me and very knowledgeable and experienced with TPI, LT1, and Accel DFI, and FAST. He uses FAST on his own vehicles and he convinced me with it. I mainly bought it because it had the wide band o2 integrated with it. Its easier to learn than prom burning because it takes that step of burning the prom out of the picture. You just plug your laptop into it, and start programming and it can log data for you all in the same program.

When you get it all tuned and running good you should set up a concealed camera aiming at the passenger seat. Then go pick up somebody thats never been in a really fast car and scare the crap out of them on tape, that would be a nice addition to the video collection here at TGO.

The next thing i'm probably gonna need is a dual disc clutch as my current clutch already has 40k on it and might not be able to hold the power as well as a dual disc.

Alright guys, the 6 month old CSI ministarter just took a dump on me today. I'm very pissed off since the starter has actually only has about 1000 miles on it, tops. I was in the middle of setting the timing, and i unplugged the electronic advance, and it wouldn't start. The weird thing is the stater is working, somewhat, but i'm pretty sure its broken internally since its not even turning over the car anymore.
