If you play the tease, you're going to get hurt.

Besides, a build thread is about publishing what and how you have done things, for anyone else crazy enough to try something as extreme as what you are doing. Consider it your contribution to humanity's knowledge base and it helps to keep people interested in the forum.

You're doing something different with a lot of fabrication and custom parts, I wouldn't expect people to get too technical. It's your project to share your ideas, successes, and/or failures. . Like Gunny mentioned, "about publishing what and how you have done things, for anyone else crazy enough to try something as extreme as what you are doing."

We should organize a rotary cruise before it gets cold because my car is a bitch to start in the winter.

When you're running 4x 880cc and 2x 800cc injectors in an NA setup you tend to have more fuel than the car can use....

Not that the injectors were the total, problem, but they were more fuel for an NA setup than the factory computer could be tuned to use. If it was FI, then it probably would have been ok.

Just have to get the power steering to behave once and for all now. Then the rest is cosmetic fixes to the car.

Forced Induction. 800cc on a NA? Damn that is huge. I doubt a N/A bridgeport could use even that much.

Can I come and bring the speed? BTW my buyer fell through for the FC. So its still up for grabs if any of you change your mind and want it. The catback is spoken for though.
