Did you want to look any further into the backfiring/running rough issue? Or, is that a none issue?

I talked to the engine builder and when he tuned the motor he left it a little fat due to the absence of the proper tools. He said once we do the dyno tune the problem will be resolved. Said better to leave it a little fat than to run a lean motor and destroy parts.

Spent all day Thursday working on the Juggy. Got a lot done but sill have some work to do. Thanks you Chris Rufner for your help yesterday.

I ordered the B&M cooler before Miller told me about it. Looks like i've got a spare now for something.

The trans cooler that you installed last Thursday did not do the trick??

Nope. Made no difference. New cooler is here, big double pass cooler. Chris Riley is fixing the steering and is going to wrap the tranny lines and exhaust with the heat resistant tape. I'm heading up Saturday morning with the new cooler. Plan is to install the new cooler, run the snot out of it to see if it will overheat or not. If it does then it probably needs a different torque converter and may need the "engine braking" feature of the throttle body disabled.
