I finally got plates today, and while it was 60 degrees out, I took 2715 for a spin to a local car cruise, putting 40 miles on.

Dynatek Classic Injection system? If it has a draw back, it's that the system is throttle happy. When you dip into the throttle, the car goes! 40 miles is not enough to really judge, but I think a different (better) computer (4 quadrent) would be a tuning plus. But the system delivers. The car starts right up, idles at 1100 rpm for 20 seconds, then drops down to 850 rpms, lopping nicely

At decel, the engine "flutters" through the pipes. I'm not used to hearing that sound. The engine doesn't switch from accel to decel well if you are not careful. You have to watch the accelerator pedal to keep from minor lurching.

The engine really dictates what the car is doing. Maybe a steel flywheel is needed. You would not want to lift going over a hill at speed. The clutch is my friend

Manners on the highway. At 70 mph, I am at 2350 rpms in 5th gear, just perfect sound and throttle. The 496 is a beast. Crazy power, Nice job Keith!

The Avon tires? SICK!! They stick like glue, even to cold cement.

I will get some more miles on it, and report back. Videos will be coming.
