The roadster now howls like it should. The engine bay needs a serious clean up, but that is to be expected after having the stock intake... Special thanks to the Colorado Crossfire Club members John, Robert, Tom, and Doug for helping out today!

Evan, are you planning any fuel upgrades to prevent running lean?

Eventually. At the altitude where I mainly drive (6000'/2000m), I don't think I will have the lean problems. Others in Colorado with the same setup have not had any issues.

The new EC tuning software appears to have a data logging feature. I hope to be able to test it out here sometime soon.

Good to see Mr. Compart on film, looks like he didn't have time for a tan while he was in FL

Care to tell us what kind of beast you have installed?

My car came with a label on the tank, it specifically says;
"Do not lean on this nipple". LOL

Good stuff Jim. Did you kidnap rudy? He looked relatively happy for being held hostage. Can't wait to see the results of the Rudy's new work at the track.

Well, not that nipple anyway. Brass fitting working just fine. I can lean on it. Well, big day tomorrow. Going to power up and see what burns up. May give Rudy a call if he returned from Florida living.

Slapped on a 74mm throttle body that I scored for 50 bucks! The maf sensor was a pretty easy swap, now I need to think about a tune. I think I'm running out of mods to do, haha.

I drove it to "Midwest Hot Rods" for the open house and car show and met up with my friend FP
He was there showing his 1954 Ford F-100 pick up truck

That truck looks nice and handy, a real good friend would let you have it for carrying top soil, sod, manure and such.

I installed a 1998 Saturn SC storage bin, to replace the broken cup holder. I got it for 2 bucks at a U-Pull it junk yard. Of course I bought a $50 dremel to modify it to fit but now I have another tool for fabricating.
Who else thinks the dremel is the best invention ever?

Also did the bass blockers. Wow. Can wait to take her out on the highway with the top down and crank it up now, its too rainy here in DE, so all the work was done in the garage.

That and tested out the new California duster, lol.

After seeing a photo of FP standing next to his beautiful pickup truck it just occured to me why he sold his great looking ebony roadster, and replaced it with 3 classic cars.
The "older" the car he stands next to, the younger he looks. (As if he NEEDS to look any younger).
