> After a few hours on the phone with Paul B. in VA (referred by a John

> wrong, and oh-yes, the best part ... I had the fuel entering the rail outlet

> For testing, I had a red plastic fuel jug with a hole cut in the top to

>
> Next steps:
> clean up the wiring
> replace injectors
> build a tank/seat/tail
> re-wire the fuel pump and f/p relay with a cutoff toggle on the handlebars
> fine tune the software (need to buy a cheapy laptop on eBay) ... it runs
> very rough right now
> find a dyno (haha)
> go to the drag strip to get some numbers
> put more pics on the web-site
> Go Land Speed racing! ... maybe, just maybe I'll make it by the October
> meet.

> Onward ... Yippee!
