Thanks

I was so nervous yesterday I didnt sleep. I knew if I did something wrong putting that engine together and/or in it was going to let us know on the dyno. I mean, I built it two weeks ago and it wasn't in the car until 10 days ago. Thing performed like a champ though. Almost more relieved than excited lol.

FWIW, I used 2% Lanthanated 3/32" electrodes. Tip held up pretty well, and was more than stable for control. Been playing with E3 "purple" tungsten lately. It's supposed to be the new king.. we'll see.
