So what is everyone's goal for tomorrow? I am hoping for around 325 hp, with a safe tune and better idle.

Wow, that's awesome! Thanks for putting this on Bill and allowing those of us that don't have running cars to come and hang out.

So, how does that kind of power feel to drive around?

What are your #'s Bill? Also, obviously I need a clutch, radiator, and turbo. If you hear of any of these for sale in the area or recommendations where to look, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks again for setting this up. Special thanks to Steve for his patience and calm. He truly is "The One".

Didn't check oil till I got home. Down a pint. New turbo should cure that.

Guys, we should have a cookout at my place sometime late July or August. I'm on 4 acres. You can pitch a tent or set up cots in my rear 30x40' barn. I have a shooting range for you conservative republican types where we can fire from my neighbors back yard up to 175 yards. We can drink after guns are put away. Also have an inground 18x36 pool to chill in. Bill, you are in charge. Address is 17056 Morse St. ,Lowell Indiana. Also, route 41 dragstrip is only about 30 min. S. of me, for those inclined.
