I made the 75 mile drive home safely with the FP Red in tact. Hopefully it is dry in the morning so we can get the tuning started.

Thanks for a great install Archie @ PSI in Tucson.

How does it feel so far? I know it needs retuning but I am curious on the overall "feel" of the red.

The best way that I can describe the car thus far is that it "feels" lighter on its feet. I am about to do the initial run on 91-octane to send it to Tom.

The weather is good now as I am at 4,500 feet in southern Arizona and we are experiencing monsoon season during the latter parts of the evening.

After a good time spent away, it is time for Megatron to get some nice fluids flowing.





I believe that five quarts of Amsoil 15w-50, three quarts of Amsoil 75w-90 manual transmission and transaxle gear lube, three quarts of Red Line Heavy Shockproof Gear Oil, and one Wix oil filter should do the trick.

Does anyone know where I can buy some smoked rear side markers?

I really like it. Right now, we are only at 21 PSI as I am presently out of town until the 18th. Shortly when I return, we will finish it up along with the E85 tune.

Oh good, because the Walbro 255 LPH as your fuel pump was going to run out of capacity way earlier than expected on pump gas and 30% faster with E85.
