Hotrodolds changed the pulses per mile. It was at 22500 ppm, but we changed three times before we ended up with 60662, which is dead on.

I drove it all the way to Fargo North Dakota, and my car has held up fine. I got 33mpg average on the way here.

Thanks everyone! I got 34mpg on the way home! I also raced a Regal, and lost pretty bad. I found out that it was a modded, de-badged GS. It was fun.

Good to hear that you had no trouble. Guys, this car puts a smile on your face. It really does. I loved driving it. That is good fuel mileage...imagine what a tune will do it. I mustered 33mpg in the Cutty on it's last highway run, with some 140mph blasts. Mebbe we'll just have to work on that! :lol:

First gear is nice. I didn't hammer it in first, and no speedo, but it pulls away NICELY with just moderate throttle.

lol ya my VW was used for my SR project

SR PROJECT: a stupid assignment narragansett high had to go through countless due dates, 15 mentor hours (i put in well over 40) and then last week of school you gata present your project and explain your "learning stretch" and see if your "proficient"


anyway the day of the presentation i had to dress really spiffy, pants shirt tie and shoes luckily the clutch grabs really low on the car but driving with those shoes suck, hell even prom sucked

Well, I was going out to shoot videos and race my friends Jetta, and snapped the axle again. I will have to get in contact with an axle shop. At this point, nothing I do will hold up.

I tried moser, but they didn't know if they had the right size stock. I am in contact with three other shops, so I am sure that I will find something.
