Update. I've been chasing an intermittent  mid to high rpm miss. I was getting a bit frustrated, couldn't determine if it was ignition or efi. Long story made short, I remembered the polarity has to be correct on the crank trigger so I checked out. Seems that MSD uses red as + and FAST EFI uses red as -. This thing is now officially a beast. ;D ;D 8)

Wish I could. I really need to finish house now before next trip anywhere. Depending on when that happens I might be able to make it down before it gets hot there. When does it begin getting over 80 degrees in Yuma area?

The FAST EFI is really coming around. It just keeps running better and better. I was skeptical it could deal with the outlaw sprint car engine configuration but I'm thinking it is very capable. It just requires some time and understanding of basic tuning parameters to start from. I'd be willing to guess that those that have less than good results using it are just incapable of understanding how to use it.

Thanks,guys. I think the color will be the same but will use a white base under the topcoat instead of the black like I did on busa buggy. Should really make the blue pop. I don't think I'll accentuate the bowtie though. Who knows though.   I still have 2 places needing attention to fit and finish but for the most part I'm pretty happy.

Yes,they are hinged on the pillar and have 2 latches at front. Both latches are interconnected and operate as one. I'll get a couple pics open and of latch system.
