AHHHH--only a few days to go until the "Beast" is back running! Beer and .5 mile burnouts can be hard on the engine when you spin it at 8k! Now I have a rev limiter that will be set at 6400 per Vinnie the driver of Scotts race car. Nothing like being stupid will teach you an expensive lesson! :evil:

FWIW Scott made me a real good deal on the labor--cut it about 70% :beer3: --guess he felt sorry for me but with new the new parts including 1 piston, springs, a couple of valves and other stuff (damage was the top half only) I will be back on the road in about a week after TBH gets finished putting it back together!

You mentioned in another post your back on the road. Well how are the burnouts with the new rev limiter?

AHHHHH Very nice---the limiter on the MSD box is great!!!! Well the MSD is great--BIG seat of the pants improvement over the stock unit. One of the better mods I have made. Revs much quicker from idle and runs much better at cold start up. Finally I have everything except for the tire under control. The tire I am afraid will be a never ending quest but I continue and will prevail!

Am just glad to be back ripping pavement again!!!!!!!!!! :cop2:
