I'll work on a video but we are running with 10x the power it had before. Put another 11 miles on it around the immediate area to home and it's doing very well. I may need to move to a power assisted master cylinder at some point, but we'll deal with that later. :banana: :deadhorse:

It's amazing how fast things can get better when you take something that is dragging the system down and put it to work.  I've felt cars that were dragging 1 piston and I could feel it, I can only image how much of a lazy dog it must have felt like dragging 4 pistons around.  Bet it feels like a beast now.  Nice job!!!   :banana:

Glad to hear you are getting past yet another setback. Hope the remaining become increasingly smaller.
Are you running self tuning at all with the MS3X?

So what rear tires have you selected for replacement?  :D  Sounds like a real fun ride now!  :twothumbsup:

I have actually done a pretty significant amount of auto-tuning on all areas of the map, other than the idle cells. I have found it doesn't work very well in that area. I love that feature thus far and will continue to use it until i feel it's ready for the dyno.

I haven't decided, these tires are old [and hard] but are in excellent shape with no cracks. I'll use them to just put miles on the car for now. There aren't many manufacturers that make my rear tire size, I may go with Nitto again.

Looks great. I remember when you first bought that car from your posts on moparts. It's been a few years.

Check out Hankook Ventus V12's.  I'm running them on my Cuda and they feel nice.  Nitto's are a good tire too, had them on my Chally and loved 'em.

Thanks, I'm somewhat "done" and that is finally sinking in. Now to enjoy!
