Hey all! Well I got everything tied up tonight. All fliuds are in and she is pretty much ready for start up. I WOULD HAVE started it tonight but unfortunately my daughter's room is right above the garage and I didn't want to smoke her out. I could have dropped the FC to the ground and wheeled it outside but I like to keep it on jack stands for the first start up for the ease of inspecting and accessing leaks if I need to lay on the creeper for.

I also calibrated my WB o2 with my datalogit to be within .01 of my actual xd-16 gauge. I did a trick that Chuck Westbrook has in his notes that includes a jar, syran wrap, propane tourch and a straw.

As for those fucking EGT gauges I am still undecided. I think for now they will live in the glove box until I can lay some new carbon fiber so I can re-arrange my center console layout.

Mount 'em like I mounted my extra three gauges, do away with the idiot lights
I like the two gauge set up now becasue I can still see my clock from my seat

All will be fine - you would know by now if you installed anything horribly wrong.
I know I have finally just convinced myself it is fine. It is what it is.

Thanks again bro for being there for the whole thing. Having your set of eyes was good not to mention u spotting that apex seal spring in the coolant passage was a HUGE time saver. I know we heard it but I never saw it.
