Quick video of new motor at first start up. A bit nastier than it's predecessor... :twisted:

Wow that looks like it should move your Vega down the road pretty fast, I am sure I would be afraid to push the button on the nitrous!

Me too! But it runs 2 separate fuel systems, the nitrous is hooked into the race gas system so it will protect me from 'accidentally' hitting the button in times of madness.

Well until my wallet recovers from the cost of rebuilding the motor, she's going to be for show, not for go :( , so Mission will have to wait a while. I haven't fully opened her up yet, but she has no problem lighting up the rears at 50 mph....without the nitrous.
