2 things to say....taking the wiring harness off the 2j was way more then a PITA...and the motor (though it may sound like it did) was a total bitch to get in and right.

must say though that well at times it was frusterating it was really fun. and now to see it finally running with all the kinks out it totally awesome.

I was there for a few but never saw any of the pre 2j stage pics. it just really shows all the work you guys did. You should def get a photo album just like how you layed it out on here. It would be hella tight for car shows

it wasn't even where it went so much as it was we needed to get all the connectors off w/out breaking them (then it would cost more to get the harness made)

and no prob. for the help lizz. im pretty sure you and nick would do the same.

from what they told me not so well. the car didn't want to stay in 3rd gear (which i guess for 2j's is where the best gear ratio is) due to the computer. There's some way to trick it to stay in 3rd but it takes awhile.

what he said...
so pretty much i paid 150 bucks for them to push a few buttons and add fuel the the car... :-/
i got a friend whos a tuning fanatic and really good at everything, so once we figure out the problem now (running really rich, possibly stuck injector, or bad fuel pressure regulator) then well figure it all out.... yay

Yep. 4 runs and they topped it out at 424hp & 378 ft lb. That's without knowing what cam is in it (ebay motor). Now it idles and doesn't cut out at WOT.

12.21 @ 114 was my best on slicks so far. Now I need to tweak the suspension.

I had a better run going but missed 4th gear and still ran a 12.25. There's still more in it.
