1st drive
Well took it out for the 1st drive today after having a friend and SamNavy look over the tune idling in the driveway and they both gave me the thumbs up. Well my 1st drive was 12 miles to a friends house to weld up the new exhaust.
Started and ran fine, idles like stock and AF were looking good. I had to take it on the freeway to get there and it was running lean @ 55 so I was adjusting the VE tables as I was driving (thats fun). Was 16-17AF at cruise, not good. After adding fuel in a few cells I tried to just keep the motor in them for the rest of the drive. Seemed to work. Stayed out of boost for now.
Arrived and noticed there was steam coming from the middle of my NEW god speed radiator...great. Must be a pin hole because I can't see coolant just a little steam and I can smell it. Never got hot on the drive tho, I was watching the dash gauge because I still have not played with the easytherm values and it was pegged @ 215* the whole drive. Can these be welded up? I h8 to have to deal with shipping. Guess you get what you pay for.
Overall it went well, I get the car back this weekend and than I can work out some of the bugs.
