Ken, did you get the upholstery installed in this one yet? I know you've been busy with the sedan and V-12 projects but I don't remember seeing this one finished with the interior and paint work completed.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
No, not yet. I took it to the dyno shop and we found some things that needed to be changed. I had the O2 sensor on the right side to far back, so it wasn't getting enough heat to function properly until the motor got above 4000 rpm. The air flow sensor was in the wrong spot so I had to move it and I had a tube running threw the air inlet to hide some wiring and that screwed the air flow up. It was starving for air so while I made these changes I opened up the air inlet by about 30% to help it breath a little better.
The guy that runs the chassis dyno is moving so I have to wait for him to get set up in his new shop. I'm glad I haven't taken it apart yet just for these reasons. If you are interested you can read the dyno sheet above in earlier post, it was about 100 hp off.
How's that for a bunch of excuses?
Ken
