Scott, maybe now we are ready.  I actually had to call up Autronic in Australia last night for assistance as the Cal file firmware Autronic had sent over a year ago did not match the ECU firmware and had to be converted. I had actually attached a copy and emailed it to them earlier yesterday evening. So he and I discussed a few details of my set up, made sure of the cam sensor connections, as well as the injector brand and size, and Autronic made the adjustments and sent it back to me. 

I loaded it up and saved it to the ECU. I also had read the manual and knew to disconnect the coils before uploading the maps as the coils could get damaged, and all went well. I checked some of the maps and the cells were filled. so I am ready to put fluids in and start up. 

BTW, I am still shooting for the Mile Marker 1 race in October down in Miami this year. It's an aggressive schedule, but if all goes well with start up and then tuning, I gotta go and see how fast I can get this car up to....

The rear Big Brakes kicked my butt!! They were a bear to install! I had to do a bit of grinding to fit them due to the size of the mounting areas of the stock spindle and the calipers. I got them done, but it took several hours per side. I was burnt out, so rather than start up the car, I took a break and went out to dinner and a movie with my wife and some friends last night. I saved start up for today. I awoke rather early, but I am going back to sleep for a few more hours and then start up.....
