Yea, I see what you are talking about. It may be that most of my pictures are taken inside a poorly lit garage. Will be able to tell more in a couple of days when I get the hood back on, and try to takes some nicer ones outside.

i had the same problem, now i use i think the redeye mode or something and it pre flashes then flashes again when pic is taken now my indoor pics are way better, let me look in my book to see what mode i have it on, but all i did was take pics inside with all the different modes then looked at them and pic'd the best one.
get them outside pics

Water Temp Sending Unit & Air Filter Shroud
 
I had to install an extra water temp sending unit. If I tapped in to the EFI water temp probe, it may have caused a LOW temp reading by dividing the signal. So I tee'd the manifold, and added the dash gauge water temp sending unit.

I also built an aluminum water shield (2 sides only) for the under-fender 12" long conical air filter.

H Pipe
 
Got a lot done today. Took a day off to regroup. Those damn gremlins keep sneaking up and screwing with everything.

For instance, the drive shaft delivered to me was too short. Well I ordered, and received from UP (a few weeks late) a longer driveshaft. This fixed one problem but created another. The front universal knuckle started hitting the H Pipe. Damn it!!!

OK I removed the H pipe and had it cut 3/4" on both sides to give me a little room. I also clocked the EFI sensor a little clockwise because it was getting very close to the frame. This allowed me to lift the transmission a little more, hopefully taking care of the shifting problem. We will see in the next few days:

Front End Alignment
 
Got the front end aligned today also. I stayed with they guy doing the alignment, and boy am I glad. He really didn't know that you could rotate the plate to move the LCA out for the negative camber.

The figures from TCP:
Camber 0- ½ degree neg
Castor 2 ½-3 pos
Toe 1/16” -1/8” In

But We got it done. Front and rear end. It was only out a little, but a little sure makes a big difference in the way it drives. Now I got to lift the rear a little more. There are adjustments on the UP rear Coilover system to allow for this:

State Inspection & Dyno
 
I got the car State Inspected today.

Then went over to the local dyno shop. After a lengthy amount of time test tuning, doing some gentle pulls, then getting more robust each time. We are not finished tuning yet.

But I took a video of the last pull. Enjoy!

More horsepower then you need.. . However nice to have. :thumbsup: Nice video, great, music!

We will be able to see this car when? How's the quality of the paint on this bad boy? I know its been recently painted, however, black is a bitch to make look right.
