Two nuts on the exhaust header were missing and realized this yesterday while at work(I stopped by the auto hobby shop on the base). We added two nuts and off I went.

When I left work last night, the car started and held idle beautifully, but once on the highway, the car was spitting and missing.
You spent a lot of $$$ getting that engine built, any help coming from the builders?

Your fuel map. Have your tuner adjust it.

It's a computer, not a wife.

Couldn't resist either.

Sorry... couldn't resist. If you're using an AEM, have you done any data logging? Shouldn't the ECU tell you exactly what's wrong?
No way to secure said laptop on track. I'm going to try to make time to download existing map before dropping it off today.

Both of you-

Spent quite a bit of time talking to the owner today. I have every confidence that my car will attended to and any/all kinks worked out. He understands my sense of paranoia/frustration after all I've been through in the last couple of years.

The line of communication is now completely open and we are working toward a common goal- road course domination!!!
