I think it's the title of the thread than, I was looking forward to seeing the bird rip through 1st through 3rd...

Bottom line break in that motor and get some track videos up!

Here's a much better WOT vid now that I'm re-acquainted with the car :) .  My sis was filming.  I had to do this twice cause the first time we went to do it, the batteries in the camera died...which is a shame cause I had a great launch.  The one in this vid is a little boggy...but at least the shifting is decent.

Yeah it's REALLY fun now that I'm back to being comfortable with it.  With a good launch and holding out 1st and 2nd a little more, I know I can get my 0-60 into the high 5s :D .

nice, I don't think I could convince any of my family to ride with me on a spirited drive like that.

not bad man.  I keep forgetting your speedos only go to 85 down there...  I was gonna say, MAN that thing will bury it way faster then mine, but I have 35 more MPH to go on my speedo...  LOL.

Canada is KPH and they didn't have the py 85Mph ruling like we did back then.

Does it often bog from a dead stop, WOT start? Mine used to do that on occasion before I went to MAF. I scanned for codes (none) and adjusted the TPS every which way to no avail. Once I did the MAF conversion the problem went away. I think it has something to do with the SD computer's ability to compensate for the better flowing heads/intake tract.

Car sounds good btw:D Just don't get a ticket ;)

No, the bogged launch was definitely on me.  As I said, the first run I went to do right as the camera's batteries died, I had an AWESOME launch.
