Speaking of tuning. Yes, I drove around for a good while today. I want to get some time on the engine, and do some more tuning as well. I'm still learning the Holley EFI setup, but so far I really like it! The biggest obstacle is just knowing what to tell the system to do, and discovering what the engine likes and what it doesn't.
It's idling great at 800 rpm. At cruise RPM I have it requesting about 14.5:1 AFR, and that seems to be working pretty well. I have a little hiccup on the spark advance when suddenly stomping the throttle under heavy load, but I'm working on that one. I also noticed that I have some knock retard during WOT, and I'm going to have to pay more attention to that. I have 2 knock sensors attached, but some tuning may be required before those are really reliable (I don't hear any pinging, but the sensors seem to).
The car drives great! I had the windows up and the AC going today. While it won't make the car "cold", it was definitely comfortable. The car is surprisingly a little louder than I expected, but not obnoxiously so. It rolls down the highway in 6th gear very happily so far too. The suspension feels very smooth, and it has great straight-line traction so far!
I hope to get her on a chassis dyno in the next few weeks and do some more WOT tuning. Hard to know what is really helping or not when running the street.
Oh, Eric installed the new Recaros which I purchased this week too! I will try to take some pictures tomorrow. They definitely aren't as "sporty" as the Sparcos were (as in, they don't have the 'hold you in place' supports), but they are going to be much more comfortable for longer drives. Once I get the harnesses in, I shouldn't be going anywhere...
