OH MY GOD ... the car is a beast! I must admit, 65 miles and I have already done a few WOT runs. I know it's not advised with a new clutch, but I would rather break in the engine hard and there is no gentle way to do that. Sorry if this comes as a shocker to some thinking that I'm abusing the car, but I have always subscribed to the break in hard and it will run hard theory.

Got the TB from Bill J today and just fitted it to the car ... car idles smoothly at 750 RPM, but is a little surgey after being run. I need to reset the battery but was too impatient tonight as I wanted to have it installed and run the car around the block before it got too dark. After breakin, it's off to the dyno
