So right off the bat with my brand new shiny TPI motor I blew a TPS. Reads nearly 2.8v at idle setting, I had to adjust it down a bit just to get it low enough to be clear of "clear flood" mode and get the car to start up. Suprising though that I averaged 25mpg on my trip to Portland last weekend. Today I readjusted the timing and minimum air and it runs a bit smoother but still reading 2.8v and popping a code 21.

Even with my small issues I'm having overall I'm impressed with its performance over the last week. It's nice having my neighbors turn and look when I start the car and see envious eyes prying at it when the hood is up. If only they new it was only a 305... still drives good and beats the living hell out of my old LG4 305.
