    Yee...it is. I'm just the reporter for this fun. Chad, his team, and a whole lot of others are what is making this possible.

    I trust my engine builder to tune the car properly. We have discussed what my wants and needs are at this time and that is more of a reliability mode than a full out track monster.

    New to me used A/F probe for the new to me used A/F Gauge obtained from a M/A member about 10 months ago. Has a lead that plugs into the thingie that plugs into the OBDII port for data logging.

    Gravity fill of transmission, must mean the axles are in place. Either that or Chad is making a skating rink on the shop floor the hard way. :arf:

    Nope. I'm patient.

    BTW, I was mistaken, the gauges going in are new ones. Boost and Air/Fuel.

    Bought them almost a year ago too...The For Sale thread.
