The numbers vary just a little, but yeah, 15,000 is a good number.

i have 99% of the ecu wireing done just have 2 12v wires and 1 switched wire to hook up.
also flared the 3/8 tubeing today and installed the tank. i bypassed the condesor tank for now need to pull it off clean it and maybe make a surge tank.
bolted the header up today found that i had to notch the tranny crossbar a little bit so it didnt contact.
cleaned the throttle body tonight and also fliped the acell linkage around so i could pull from the drivers side.

it turns out the linkage for the omp rod isnt on this tb i might have to premix for a while. anyone know the mixture for that?

not much left to do now im getting nervous lol.

I think the premix for 2 cycle oil is 2oz per 10 gallons of gas. I know CodeBlue (look him up in the members list) uses premix he can tell you. He is under the same name in the nopistons forum too if you don't get an answer here.

i found that people were mixing 1 oz to a gallon so i did that.

iv got the truck started and it idels for 5seconds looks like i have major vaccum leaks as wells as the engine keeps flooding so ill send the injectors out for cleaning.
