I got my head swap all done and buttoned up today! RHS Pro Action 200cc aluminum. I also upgraded to a newer firmware on my MegaSquirt and re-wired my engine bay harness and ECU harness. I have to retune now and get this thing running good for dyno! I haven't even gone full throttle yet since my tune isn't done, but it feels quite fast and responsive so I'm hoping for some good numbers.
With the new firmware I can do launch control and spark cut! My car shoots flames with launch control.

I also washed and cleaned the car so I could get all the dirt and dust off of it from sitting. It's good to be back!

I enjoy the sound of launch control.

Believe me, it's loud enough to make your ears ring in person. I'll definitely win any late-night rev contests from now on... I was dropping 5 out of 6 spark events and it was still revving through the cut if I stayed in it for more than a second or two. Crazy!

Why you always gotta be bringing me down?

Thanks guys! I am almost jealous of myself until I remember that it's my car!  The wheels are my favorite that I've had on there so far, I don't think they'll be going anywhere for a while. They fit really well with the silver ground effects I think.

Jake, my tune isn't good enough to go full throttle yet. I had to start from scratch on the tuning and all I've got done so far is the low load and idle areas. It's running like a dream so far though, so I should know more in a few days.
