Started the car today without a tune ... keep in mind it has #42 injectors, 80mm MAF and 70mm TB and it actually ran and idled ... EXTREMELY rich. I just wanted to make sure the power was all ran correctly. I turned it off and then flashed the ECU with a naturally aspirated tune from Tom and restarted the car and she ran beautifully. I took the car for a 1 mile test drive and everything was fine. Upon returning home, I noticed a small coolant leak. 30 minutes later and that was corrected. Below is a video just after sunset of me starting the car after fixing the coolant hose. I had to remove the fuel lines to do so and you can hear me in the video saying that "I need prime it" ... this was a reference to priming the fuel line. Anyway, I still need to get a y-pipe on it and also put on the exhaust ... here she is with straight headers
