Well the truck is running good with the Turbo Slider. I can't imagine anyone needing more clutch than this, in terms of punch and 'pop' - the XT8 looks like it's about to flip onto it's back! It's also a bunch quieter when free-wheeling off the throttle.

The engine is running rich still - only hitting about 180 F, yet I'm still getting around 9 minutes of runtime - on the .28! There were 3 restrictors for the venturi, I'm using the middle one.

Can't wait to lean it out and see what it can really do. Might then remove the restrictor and see what the fuel mileage is like 'bare back'
