today did some more work on the fuel map and i am getting it better as it is not having the violent swing from lean to rich with small movements of the throttle i still can't just floor it but i might go back this afternoon and do some more tuning. I also need some of the insulation / sound deadening mat

today was a good day even though it is not running perfect it just seems so good to be able to take it for a ride and could even drive it to the dyno so i could have it tuned but i am having fun learning how to tune efi and i like the challenge of doing it

I am thinking of bring it to EFI express and having them finish tuning it as it should be tuned on a dyno because it really is going to be to fast to tune on the street in fact i am going to have to practice shifting gears faster as with the way it is right now you have to pay attention and it's not even close to what i think it is going to be like
 
Marc is pretty much a tuning genius, so you will be in good hands. Obviously, you want to get your car as dialed in as possible before taking it to the dyno so you dont have to spend time and Marc's hourly wage fixing leaks and other things, and you can get right down to business.

It feels so good to drive the car even though it is not 100 percent done or running correct now i see all the work is paying off i can see things i need to repair and things i think i just need to change but for now it is a driver and as it gets tuned and i get a interior together and repair body issues it really is all good especially when i get to puff my chest out and say yes i built it all good or bad i am a proud owner of it .

Today i think i found my belt problem in a strange looking idler pulley as it feels out of round and has the finish worn off in one part of the pulley but it is not worn all the way around the pulley it is about half way around

it's all good now i have new pulleys and i just sent a bottom crank pulley to Carbinite metal coating for them to make the surface have a ton more grip so there will not be any belt slip shoot i will be making boost at idle hahahaha
 
That sounds so good when the blower starts coming online! Well done.
