...that was the last thing I had to do, its done. :) Might be ugly, but its functional. Watched the bottle pressure go from 700 to 950 just sitting in the driveway in about 15 minutes. :D :D Time to test later.

I just got back in from being out, it's a lil chilly. You should be all smiles with elevated pressure and cool temps. :yesnod:

Scorp, I don't have a heater on mine, and it only gave me 55 RWHP on the dyno at 700lbs +/-. That was with 100 HP jets. :U

It was pig rich, maybe partly because it didn't have enough pressure to atomize completely????? Let me know how the butt-o-meter reads, OK?

Edit: Even 55 was cool, though :D

Tested it a couple of times. I think I have to readjust my microswitch, it was very hard to engage. Glad to report though that for being 35 degrees outside the bottle pressure was a nice 950psi for the 70 miles of driving I did.
