Well.....its been awhile since I posted anything up. I have been super busy with the military and its hard to find time to squeeze in to work on my cars. I actually just left for South Korea about a month ago and just got to posting this up with some updated info. I will be in Korea for a year so its going to be along sad year away from cars... But I did at least get my colt on the road with a base tune before I left. I ran into lots of minor things that set me back for awhile but over time fixed them all and finished it up. The car is on the road now and running fairly good. I drove it about an hour to a car meet before I left and it made it there and back with no issues. Its currently on a base tune that I threw on it just to get it on the road. I am proud though that i did get it running considering i just crossed over to Speed density, E85, and 2150cc injectors. I jumped into the conversion with little to no
knowledge and only forum thread reading to get started. I am still very much a DSMlink newbie but have played around with it enough and had lots of trial and error to get the car going and base tuned. I am just going to post up some current pics and some videos that i took before I left. it still needs some work and a definate tune by someone who knows what they are doing. On my last couple of pulls I was spinning through street tires @ 28 psi and it felt amazing. This is definately the fastest car I have owned at it has alot of potential. After a few pulls I felt complete
I can't wait to see what this car is capable of in the near future. So now its a year of planning and researching while I am in Korea so I can come back and hit the dragstrip. I still have a 2.3 fully built stroker and shep stage 4 tranny that i haven't installed....
