I bought the Nikon D50 when they first came out and never had a single problem or regret. Nikon makes a great product.
And I'm sure the same could be said for the Canon.

I had fuel starvation problems and tried everything. I ended up doing the "turn the drain plug into an outlet" mod and it solved my problems. I'm thinking I may have had a few pin holes in the suction tube in the tank.
Derek
Oh and a long time ago (like in the late 80's) I had a similar problem. There was a piece of old tape in the tank. occasionally it would suck up into the feed line. the car would starve and die. Then after sitting for a while the tape would drop out of the tube and I would go on my merry way. Drove me nuts!
I'll be going this route
Stainless Bumpers
I contacted them and they said they could provide a one piece rear with no holes and a front with no holes. A few guys over at Classic Z have gone this route and they're very happy with the bumpers.
Now all I need is the $1200.00!!!

Unless your really strapped for cash I would buy a professionally pre built unit. Installing and setting up Megasquirt can be pretty daunting at first because it does so much. I've had mine for over a year and I'm still tweaking. I daily drive mine and it's never left me stranded.

My first portable cell phone was a Motorola brick so I've been playing this game for a while. When I upgraded my original 2G iphone to a 3Gs I was able to sell the 2G with one phone call for $150.00 and probably could have gotten more had I listed it on Craigs List. This is the first time I had a phone that was worth anything after the contract was up. Food for thought.
Plus I love my iphone.

I'll second what Daniel said about TunerStudio. The auto tune feature works really well and most certainly better than a novice (me) tuner.
Derek
Oh and my tune won't help you either as it's for ITB's. Â
I would seriously consider adding an IAC to your setup. I have this on mine
I'm running the extra code and I control the cold start and idle air with the valve. You really want the butterflies closed at idle and the idle controlled with some sort of air bleed.Â
DIY Autotune has a nice unit from Darkstar that would work really well for you.
Derek
Looking good!
I agree with Tony about the linkage. I reworked mine a few months ago and it really improved the tip-in. My setup really likes it a little fat at an idle as well.
Derek
Be careful not to cool the weld down. Also dollying the weld before grinding will help reduce the tension created by the weld shrinkage.Â
Just some thoughts
Derek
It will be worth the effort every time you open the hood!
Trust me!
Looks great. Nice execution. Â If it works out to your liking you can blend in the welds and then get a foundry to put it in their Wheelabrator machine. this will help give it a nice even finish and look more like a single casting.
