Thanks for the update, sounds very exciting! Congratulations and have fun!  
But I'm sure I really don't have to tell you that and I bet you have one 
great  smile on your face right now to boot! Enjoy!

Hi,

Thanks again everybody. The day was fine. Rain stoped,  and I fired up the
Healey again and did a few more miles.
Here's my  experiences.
First of all I was completely wrong about Healeys. I expected  a grand
turismo and not a sportscar realy. A thing that is completely  wrong! The
suspension is firm and stabile. For from the soft, conform ride  I expected.
The engine, which I hough would behave like a big puller with  flat torque
cure is rather willing, and has a nice but sharp power  delivery. The cam is
getting on around 2.5-3k, and from that point it is  pulling very hard. No
"oldcar" feeling at all. Closer to a hot kitcar than  a grandturismo. Very
exciting, and also surprizing - at least for me.  Though I used a "fastroad"
cam (you may remember I rebuilt a 26H engine  with a "factory" sporty
camshaft 265degrees on each valves). My exhaust is  a side exit custom. 
Maybe
a bit loud, but if the car is reved, the sound is  realy impressive. More
like a period racecar than a sporty gt. Intresting  thing realy. I must be
carefull as it is soo tempting to push.
I cant  wait tomorow. I will play around tha carbs and the ignition curve
just to  see what else can be done.

Thanks again for You kind  words!

Gergo
