It feels so good...

... to have my Lightning back!:gears: I picked her up from ATS yesterday and began breaking-in the freshly rebuilt engine. It runs nice and smooth. It was a 267 mile trip back from ATS to my house, so I had plenty of time to seat those new piston rings. I'm just looking forward to getting back to the track and ordering myself a 3.4L Whipple very soon....:hide:

Will do. I'm already half way there. The drive back from Anderson was 260 miles. I'm going to Bob's this weekend so that ought to cover the break-in miles. Let me know when you guys are going to the track again...

Spencer good deal on the 3.4. What changes if any are you making to your fuel/maf setup?

None right now. I'm just going to throw the blower on and keep it under 20 PSI until more data is available. I may upgrade to larger injectors and a Magnafuel pump later down the road. But when I do that I'm going to go to a cell and I want to be in a position where I don't rely on the Lightning as a DD.
