Well that's definitely not right, fix it first and see how you go.

Good job on getting it running. Yes the tuning sequence is 1. High speed needle 2. Low speed needle 3. Idle speed screw Just be careful with free revving the engine with no load, it's not good for them. You could find that it runs great with no load but as soon as you put it in the car its a bit slu...

My guess is with all new parts the diff wasn't broken in, so as the parts bedded in it loosened up. Also if you didn't pre compress the thrust spring a few times it could have lost some of its tension and loosened up as well.

It happened to me a few times until I cut out the panel. In general what do you thing the Terminal Velociti is befor...

Nice set up Kym, I wish my stuff was as organized as that.

Cool pit tip, first time I've seen that one.
