20 miles in to it, it still runs. Bad news is that its low on boost and there isnt much I can do. Already have the smallest pulley on the blower. Need to do some searching and see if I can get an oversized balancer instead. Or.... a bigger blower. Currently hitting 9 psi when I was shooting for 15 psi. I still think it runs better then the last engine with 11-12 psi. 2:30 mark is the good stuff.
Regardless, good to see it back on the road!

Wayne and Russ - thanks its a blast.
AAIIIC - I bumped the displacement by .1L. Or about .085" in the bore size. I have a feeling thats part of the reason. Belt slip might be another.

Hey guys. Im still alive and kicking over here. Just dont log in much anymore. Bug is doing good. Got lots done since the last update. Sadly, the blower is still on it. No plans for the turbo just yet. Here is a picture from the last race to help all you get caught up.
