Thanks! Yea im not an idiot when it comes to driving this thing. I did have some fun today though, but it was on a big wide major highway. Still havent had it to the floor yet, but I made it to about 3/4 throttle today. I broke it in before I drove it, but I still like to take it easy on a new motor for awile. Not to toot my own horn, but this thing is a torque monster. Played with a newer model mustang today. Passed him like he was backing up without even shoving it to the carpet. That was a pretty good feeling.


I do have one BIG issue though. Starting this thing. I have to put a charger on it and put it on atleast the 40 amp setting to spin it over fast. With a volt meter on it the battery goes from 12.48 to 8.67 volts during cranking. I would find it hard to believe the brand new starter is bad, but I guess it could be. Or maybe I should have got a 3hp gear reduction starter instead of a plain ole 2hp mini starter. I havent checked the compression yet, but I have a feeling its up there, so that might be the problem to. The battery is in the bed and ran/grounded all with 4 gauge wire. Thinking of going to 2 gauge on all of that to. It cant hurt. Sucks not being able to shut it off anywhere. Like today I was biting my fingernails with the gas gauge sitting on E. I had to make it home. While I was so worried about my gas guage I stopped looking at the others. I turned on my street and realized it was creeping up to 200 degrees. No big deal, but it has been running at 140-160. Pulled in the driveway, got out and the fans were not running. My new relay crapped out on me, so I put the old used and abused one that was in it with the 350 back in and cured that problem.
