Bad *** man. Congrats on getting it fired up. It is the greatest feeling in the world when it lights off for the first time. Is that open headers or through your exhaust?

Excellent Pete !!!

So what was the problem after all ??

Have you hooked up a pedal for the accelerator ? One thing I noticed on mine. The stock TB requires an awful lot of pedal to go WOT.
I ended up fitting a smaller cam to the TB ( was easier than making more mods to the pedal itself. )

Thanks Stevie.

It was the VATS, shutting the injectors off. Paul Spinks came down on friday, plugged in his laptop and disabled that and other stuff too. Now she starts on the key.

The pedal`s in, but not fitted the cable yet, and we`ve worked out, it needs 60mm of linear movement, the pedal has 80mm if necessary.
