Well...did about 100 VERY calm miles this weekend just locally. Its turned really cold in the past 6hrs and its not really liken' that and stalling a bit, struggling with cold starts. It shud do some learning hopefully...did the rear end break-in (~10 easy miles followed by complete cool down x3) and all seems good. Have a nasty squeel coming off the serp belt...cud be from sitting for so long. Thot it was the AC compressor tensioner, but chanhed it and that wasn't it. Sprayed some carb cleaner on the main belt and that seemd to fix it...cud be the belt is slipping as its awefully tight...if so I'll go to the next size up (I have no idea what size is on there now, but all the pulleys seem fine). Other than that the only thing buggin' me is the TC (2800) seems to lock up on the hi-way around 60mph when cruising and it makes it feel overshifted/rich/boggy...I dunno if this can be tuned with shift points or if I need a diff TC? Any recommendations wud be welcome. PS...I'll post a sound clip of start up and rev later 2nite. R/

Thnx Grippy! Runs pretty good and I'm really babying it
... Small tuning bugs to deal with is all. Winter up here is a good time to take delivery of a new motor, as traction prevents u from goin nuts and cool temps keep heat stress down.

holy hell man. I've been sitting here for about 2hrs trying to follow your build/problems. Are you my long lost twin? lol After reading this I've become very worried about my IAT's. They are well over 200* at wot.
I don't even want to think about what the cause could be. shhhhhhhhh
