Nice!!! So other than the ultronic upgrade did you do anything else before hitting Bonneville

Well, for the prior 8 1/2 years that I owned the car; I performed normal routine maintenance including about 15 oil changes, air cleaner element replacements, two timing belt replacements jobs with all of the trimmings (Water pump, rollers, idlers, tensioners etc.) Then the unavoidable replacement parts; WABCO Electric air compressor, Radiator, Starter, brake pads, rotors tires etc.

So, no other modification to the original engineering design of the vehicle or powertrain.

Just had new tires installed a few weeks before the Bonneville run.
