Ahhh, took the bird out for a little drive today...

Finally got it fired up today for the first time since last october. Man, does it have a lumpy idle with the A237 cam in there :D

I took it out and drove around a bit, didn't beat on it, but it sure does feel good to drive it again.

Just gotta get the clutch work done this weekend and I can get it back on the road again...

I would take it to the track, except that the closest one is 4 hours away:disappoin I am curious as to what it would run, but being that I'm a total noob at the 1320 it probably wouldn't be too great.

I'd like to get it dynoed at the very least...if they have one of the portable dynos at WFC this year I may see about getting my car done there.
