Finally able to run engine on the dyno today.Just started tuning when I got an error code on the dual sync dizzy.AFRs high 11's low 12's and only able to run to 6200rpm but still managed 770hp 730tq.Wicked throttle response.Time to switch to a crank trigger.

So following Metro's trunk weatherstrip instructions,which say,"DO NOT PULL THE GASKET TIGHT!"this is what it ends up like...SHORT.
