The plan right now is to start it up Monday or Tuesday.

I had some issues getting my laptop to communicate with the VEC3 yesterday, but Sean and Joseph think that Vista is the problem there.

FYI: The Vista operating system doesn't like working with the VEC3 software.

I dusted off my old Gatway laptop with XP and the first attempt to connect to the vec worked the first time!

Got a call last night around 10:20pm with a "hey, listen to this". He put the phone next to the open header and let it run for a few seconds....OMG this thing sounds soooo badass!!!!!

My schedule is pretty tight right now, but I will get down there and get a vid as soon as I can.

First Vid!! Didn't run the car too long because it is running pig rich. We backed the fuel pressure down after this video from 55psi to 40psi and it is running a lot better, but still need to scale down the injector some more with the vec.

Well after a fun night of not running right, found out the front 2 injectors are getting a full 12v constant signal. While the other 8 are around 1.5-5v. So it looks like the VEC is telling the front 2 injectors to stay wide open. Checked the front injectors and they are working properly but they are just FLOODING the cylinders with fuel. Makes sense with all the fuel coming out both sides and how it won't stay running.

Only thing I can do right now is have Sean check over this VEC3 and hopefully that is where the problem lies.

Picked the car up last night from the shop it was at. This Wednesday night, Joseph and I are going to try and get a good running tune on it over the phone so I can put some miles on it before I trailer it down to ATL.
