it is really interesting. With the car running so well i have taken it out for a quick drive on the back roads a couple of times and i have noticed something odd. The brake fade on the car is severe. I mean REALLY bad. Not only is the braking not nearly enough when completely cool, but the brakes fade quickly after about 10 min of 
driving. It wasn't like that with the old motor in it. I didn't think the mods i did would cause such a problem. Any opinions or suggestions? I mean it got so bad that the brakes were SMOKING when i brought the car to a stop sign. Thanks

quick update everyone. The car is running great. Everything seems to be ok but there are a couple of things that I will bedoing as soon as school is out next june( yes i know it is a long time) I will most likely be buying a bunch of cf parts for the car as well as changing the carb over to the ida 48 w/ 36mm ventries. The nikki that i got on there is showing its 28 years of age. also I need anyone who has bought anything from fibremaz to give a review for me. And what is the vent for right at the windshield wipers? never could figure that out. The dldfis seems to be working but I cannot for the life of me get to time this car right!! Its like 15-20 advanced the entire time!! I thought maybe because i could get the idle down to 750 from 1500 rpm would be the reason but i am not so sure anymore...
