(Knocking on wood) It's running far better than I could have imagined, considering all the posts during the months leading up to my eventual install (computer box issues, CEL's, blown clutches, etc).
I think I'm about ready to tighten the belt myself but so far, after about 400 miles, it hasn't really become that loose. (Mind you, it's been kinda cold out still and I think this minimizes belt stretch to some extent.) The plugs "read" fine, no bad qualities that are noteworthy or worrysome and although I haven't "tweaked" it or dynoed it, it feels that it is doing everything it was advertised to do. And with the rear gears, I think I can preserve my clutch longer than what most others have reported.
Thanks for askin'.

Yeah !! It works. Finally it is tight like my 1972 jeans :-)

Thanks "xviper" and "itsallforyou" for your support and "spapdx" for his "dumb question" (bullseye)

sky-chicken, you're welcome. I'm glad to hear the nut was the only issue. After reading your dyno thread (before & after Toda header) and the belt slipping issue, I wonder if another dyno session would yield even better results???

xviper, that's great I want the 4.44's too! I just need to find the extra $1K in a drawer somewhere.

sky-chicken - good post! I think I may need to tighten the jam nut as well. Just wanted you to know that you are not alone.
