OMG .. got it out on the road before it started to SNOW luckily. I gave it 60% throttle and it was up to 110 and still pulling hard before I realized it. I still haven't nailed it. The tranny guy told me that he didn't want me to run it hard until it has had some time to break in and get all the clutches seated good.

I started it up after getting everything buttoned up and it sounded like it was missing bad. I think some of the injectors had gotten gummed up or something, but it worked that out, then it started loping ... freaking HARD. I have a decent amount of tuning to do to it before I get it down right.

That short blast of 110 surprised the hell out of me though. It was quick, and it wasn't even WOT either. I think it's gonna be scary fast.

Sheesh, after reading that other thread I was wondering if it would ever run again.

Good to hear it's now tearing up the roads.

It didn't run that hard in the black truck. That's why it took me by surprise. I don't have the intercooler hooked up yet either .. that needs to happen Sunday.

Glad you got it all straightened out. No I/C on the radix yet... That thing will be wicked fast once you get the IC and the tuning...

No intercooler on a Radix in 30* temps isn't too bad.

Glad its all running right.

Good point.
With all the snow this morning I'm tempted to go out and play with the AWD in a parking lot somewhere...
I imagine Flyer's setup (2WD, converter and Radix) could be tricky in the snow...
