R/T-2 took it's first (new) breaths today and fired up like a champ. A
few minor adjustments to the oiling system (had to change the orifice
restrictor sizes slightly) and some minor oil seepage (two fittings
weren't quite tight enough)...and she spooled up. (God that sound was
COOL!!)

We've put a few new pics up on the web but keep in mind that they are
still with some of the proto-type (or unfinished) parts. Once the final
system checks and wiring harness has been built...she goes on the road
to the dyno shop for A/F testing (and tuning) as well as some HP/TQ
figures.
