well. i just drove it to the gas station!!!!! fuck yea. runnin rough of course, dont think the alternater is working anymore, adn i think im a lil low on tranny fluid, its not shifting very well. also may need to run a better vaccuum line. anyways, the flash stall is at 2600 rpms and it gives a nice tug! oh yea! im so fuckin happy!
edit: and yes, it burns both 275s when launching.

well, i drove the merc to work today. noticed a few issues. its not shifting properly.... if i nail it off the line, it shifts at about 3200rpms (and actually chirps the tires at the low rpm shifts too). BUT i dont have the kick down connected... that may control the amount of time it holds the gears, and not just for downshifting. other issue is that if i launch easier, sometimes it doesnt wanna shift at all. and i have to let off and tap the gas a couple times. i think that may be a vacuum issue. had to buy a new battery today, need to replace that vac line, do an oil change and tune up, and it should be good to go. im happy though.
