Thumbs up Kmp 357 Is Alive!!

For those of you who haven't already seen the thread on my ignition problems, KMP357 is now motivating under its own power...its glorious, hot, smelly, and EXCESSIVE POWER!!.

I've alrerady thanked some of the people who've helped directly, and would like to now thank those who gave me tips along the way, sold me their excess parts, and talked me through the SB100 process. It's been a long time comming, but I've put about 120 miles on her, and am doing my best to keep from grinnin' like an idiot.

I've given a number of friends and relatives rides already, and set down some pretty good patches of rubber in the neighborhood...not mine, theirs.

I haven't really become comfortable at speed yet...I've got to get the alignment done soon...things are a bit hairy as the car wonders around as if it had its own will. But under 50 or so, I can stick my foot in it long enough to get a quick thrill.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but suddenly 500+ bhp doesn't seem excessive. Then again, I haven't wound it out in either 3rd or 4th.

Well, got to get to bed now, as I'm getting up early so that I have time to take the long way to work.
