Default Fired up the TT 408 last night!

Well, last night I got the 408 to fire up, after some help from MIGHTYMOUSE we figured out what all the unlabeled wires on my BigStuff3 hareness were supposed to be.

It got oil right off, up to the turbos and down the return line, I was pretty happy about that because I'm super paranoid about firing my car up after its been all the way apart like this.

Anyway, without the cooling system we only ran it for 10 seconds or so and turned it off, it seemed to idle better than stock with the default BigStuff3 tune (TREX cam is still in there).

Overall I am impressed with BigStuff3, the only big downfall I can find in the software is the dashboard sucks, they used stuff thats IMPOSSIBLE to read while driving, unlike the dash that comes with the Gen7 software.

Not very well, but its pretty low on my priority list, I need to get a custom radiator, TH400, stall and rearend before I worry about getting more power from a solid roller.

Ok maybe I am blind, is there really a autotap like dash in BS3? All I can find is the status bar dash setup stuff for individual dialogs.
