Thanks guys. After getting plates in the morning, dropped by the house to grab the car, hopped in and hit the road...nervous as all heck. Had to calibrate the Dakota Digital speedo, so I stopped and tripped the setup and drove exactly a mile and it was set right on, checked with a gps to be sure.

For a quicky eyeball alignment, camber was a bit towards kill-mode, it drove excellent, tracked straight with the steering wheel only off maybe 5 degrees or so
Took the long way back to work or course. Had to give a few of my employees rides, then decided to call it an early day (had other things than work on my mind). So on the way home, 1/4 mile from the house it died, wouldn't restart. Had the laptop in the car so checked things out..no fuel pressure.
Got it home after a short tow, checked some things out. Seems as though the Holley pump was completely fried. Hot wired it bypassing the relay and only get a little "click" from the tank. Anyway, new one is on the way today, Saturday delivery, bad one is out already. Talked to Holley tech said it sounded like I did everything right and they'd take it apart and look at it. Maybe I just got a bad one? 29 miles is all it made it.

Just a minor setback I guess. Things have been going too good, something had to happen. Boy was it fun before it quit though
