Ron,

You know I've been a lurker here. Usually just checking in to see if it was running.... then sadly turned away to wait another day.


Wow, but not today! I got 2 videos to enjoy. Daaaaammmmm. you hit it out of the park.


As I said before, Congrats big time. Big step forward.

Cheers

Yeah crazy I know Tim. Those two were around when I started this build so it's only fitting. Plus Kiwi has HP Tuners

Ah-ha, and that ladies and gentlemen is how you get to 13k posts.

The best part wasn't really seeing the car driving down the road but rather your reaction to it. I could just tell by watching how pleased you were and you seemed as giddy as a school girl with the thumbs up and all. What you said at the end of the first video sums it up (and should be in your sig)...."I Fu@$'n love it!"

I can't wait to feel the same about my car.

Master Kenobi. We went and had a beer in your honor right afterward

Yeah I was a little kid yesterday (when you turn 50 you don't get too many of those days). Almost didn't go out for a second putt after the water pump but was glad I did. First one was almost sensory overload and I was hyper-careful, second one started to feel like old friends and I like "oh man, can't wait to pound on this bad boy!"

Save me searching..........rear gear ratio and close or wide ratio tranny?

What model GoPro is it?

Thx Scotty. The motor (when not missing) is really fun. I spoke to Rick at Baer and he said to take it easy on the brakes and get that gook (zinc) off them before bedding. First I had heard, but he suggested 200 miles before serious bedding.

The rear is a 3.70 and the maggie is a close ratio. GF bought me the GoPro 3+ Silver. Matt was real impressed with the iPhone controls , but the playback is very cool.

Thank you Sir, and thanks for your help! I know it doesn't make the 666hp and 6gooblety2 ft lbs, but I'll take it

Way to go Ron. I could hear the excitement in your voice yesterday when I called you. Even Rob was excited, although, he won't admit it. You said we couldn't hear the car, but I did. And it sounds mean on the video. Love the rumble when you gave it a little more throttle on a few of the take offs from the lights.

Great talking to you last night Marcus! Giddyup on that motor build, willya?

Brett thanks for the text and your fine work on my car. I was thinking of you after the first drive and was sincere in my reply

Awesome Ron, I bet you can't stop similing and I'm sure it was all worth it. Let the good times roll.
