Ordered three sizes in between 57.5 and 60 on Amazon and will return what doesn’t work. Went with the Gates Green HD, still cheaper than the parts store belts!

Get the 58.5 on it - espcislly with the style bracket you have you want it as tight as you can get it . They do stretch initially too .

Decided I would list my wheels for sale at a higher price and see what happens as I already had my eyes on a new setup for V2 of the car. Listed them at $800 and one day later they are gone! Back to the stock wheels for now. Loving the look of the OEM

$120 later I got a brand new dipstick and vent plug. Absolute highway robbery but really no other option since they were stripped. We are a belt away from a first drive

Rear seat upholstery installed and seats put back into place. Still want to steam out some creases but overall it looks much better having fresh vinyl in the car

Amazon messed up 2 out of the three belts I ordered so 59 in was the only one I had but it worked perfectly. Tensioned it up and have her a start, idled beautifully and bled the coolant system. Took her for a quick 10 min drive to get the requested data from Willie. Awaiting the next revision for the next drive. Words cannot describe the happiness and satisfaction I felt finally driving the car after weeks of work and waiting

Willie requested a WOT pull in third from 2k-4800rpm. Running rich at 10:1 for safety, the car built 8lbs of boost and it felt great! Really pushed you back in the seat around 3500, very similar to a turbo car

Negative, he’s handling all of the adjustments. Binary editor is unfamiliar to me, only have experience in HP tuners

You can make adjustments to the maf transfer to add or pull fuel. Once it drives and behaves well you can just make little tweaks to dial in the fueling.

Willie is now logged in to Binary Editor remotely to make some changes. Hopefully today we can make some good progress on the tune. My wheels and tires were just delivered today so will try and pick those up later today
