It runs! (new heads)

^Nice
Nice choice on heads too. That feeling of getting it started again after a nice mod, very nice, accomplishment. I would like to put on some new heads but I have tons of other things to worry about first. Make sure you take the car somewhere away from the cops when you take it above 3500, nice enough he let you get away with a warning. Hate those people who sit in the left lane, I have never been anywhere worse than here for that.

Ok, got a chance to play with it on my way back out to school.
1) It revs much smoother and more willingly. It seems like I don't need to apply as much throttle to get the same acceleration as before.
2) Low end torque seems to have improved. There is usable power at 1500 now, which wasn't really the case before.
3) The exhaust note seems to be improved. It's a slightly deeper, more even tone now.
4) If I try to wind it out, it sputters at 5600rpm. Grrrr. It gets up there quick, but craps out at the same rpm in first and second (third is 1:1, and I'm not topping that out, lol). I suspect the secondary circuit is running lean, so I'll have to jet that up. I think cruise is a hair lean as well, so just one more thing to fix while I'm at it.
In any case, the engine seems to run much smoother now. I'm happy, and the motor seems happy as well
