Ever hear the story about the guy that wired his injectors and COPs for Haltech in 1-5-3-6-2-4 firing order instead 1-2-3-4-5-6 cylinder order?
Yeah, that’s me... I’m the idiot...

How did that affect running or not? My intuition would have suggested the same thing

Well, remember how it sounded like it was running in two cylinders? It was... 1 & 3... all the rest were out of order. Amazing it ran at all. But of course, my brain was thinking that was impossible as I had the correct firing order! Trying to outsmart a computer....

In other news, I finally got the front garage converted from standard 8’ lift doors to 12’ lift doors. Same size opening but removed three feet of angle hangers from the ceiling along with the centre pull openers. Now I have doors that go to the roof and no messy hangers all over the ceiling! Lots of room for the future four post lift...!

The direct drive side openers are super quiet and have built in Wi-Fi and MyQ as well.

Interesting shop. I'd like to see an outside pic. Looks like it curves in? Cool!

Just the panoramic setting on the camera. It’s a big front garage.
