Default Update on my 918 break

well i replaced the broken one with a new 918 from thunder. Everything seemed to still be 100% perfect when we out the new one on. Anyway i started her up and it idles awesome! Yes i heat cycled this new one also <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

anyway i went out yesterday and drove around for 15mins. Felt awesome, but granted i havent gotten above 4500 yet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

today i risked it all. I simply didnt want to set around and wonder from comp WTF is going on. So i went to our clubs annual cookout and drove around 300miles. Ran PERFECT!

once again i havent gotten above 4500rpms <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

i frankly not gonna WOT the car till we hear back from Comp. My spring as well as a friends gets shipped monday. But rumor has it they found the prob and the build date on them <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

needless to say im excitied as hell! Everything runs and seems perfect <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />
