You know, after playing with the throttle linkage length a little bit for a few days, and relearning smooth but assertive inputs on the go pedal, I think I've got the car set up pretty sweet. Even chirped the tires a few times! I find I'm almost never up over 3000RPM before I'm going to fast for the roads around her, that is, unless I'm merging into traffic from a dead stop or something.

I probably still will play with the tranny modulator a little next time I'm under the car, and I'm really prioritizing a turbo swap, maybe this summer, when I'm back to DDing the BMW. I think the power band will just be so much sweeter with a little more whoosh, plus I reckon it will run cooler and with less smoke.

The 722.4 seems to be doing fine. I mean, it probably won't last forever, but for now it seems okay.

The other big piece is the chassis work. I have probably 2/3 of what I need, not counting the time, of course.
