Default Sparky Makes Coolness

A Captain Obvious PSA: I've been amassing all the bits for a full cooling system redo due to age, but wanted a perfect (as possible) base-line in terms of engine performance / tune prior to.

Long story short, I was running at the top of the "N" all the time, and after solving a slight miss in 1B caused by bad wires, she runs right under the N and goes up half way only in high ambient pulling prolonged grades in kickdown. Power and starting obviously are much improved. I am always amazed how effortlessly she pulls 7% grades to ridiculous speeds, just sorta yawning as she goes. God I love V12's!!

Anyways, for those tracking down temp issues, check your ignition bits as well.

Not going to fit the new stuff yet / see if she holds tight.

Cheers,

Jeff
