The throttle bodies are worn so with that and the cams it idles high and doen't like putting around town. It has headers so no thermostat control. It is set permanently lean but in a few months our mechanic is going to install a system to actuate the cold start squirters with a button. That way the warm starts will go smoother. As it is now cold starts require two or three starts before it continues running. And warm starts take a lot of cranking since the cold start squirters do not work due to the heat soak.
But as long as you keep the revs up it is a hoot!
I can't imagine what a higher compression RSR motor would be like.

I doubt them cold start squirters will make it work better.
MFI without heatexchangers to warm up the thermostat will always be a royal pain in the ass on MFI.. been there, done that, it is what it is.
I ran mine with an ajustment screw in place of the thermostat.. basically i had a manual override.. warm up always was a pain.. no matter how i adjusted.
Installed heat exchangers and instantly the car started and warmed up nice.
