It runs fine off idle - has great throttle response and seems to have very good power. It revs like crazy with the much lighter pistons and rods and lightened flywheel (doesn't feel like a B20 at all). I've got a wideband O2 and will be getting that on the engine as soon as I can to see what's going on off idle (needle selection).

Tonight I'll pull the timing cover and make sure the cam gear is not going to come flying off! I've got 12 degrees BTDC for the ignition timing - I had it at 15 degrees and backed off a little as I got a little pinging going up hill. Perhaps I've got to put a little more back into it?
