That's pretty much what we did, start run keeping it around 2200 to 3 around the block then switch off. Stan gave me a detailed run in procedure to follow.

yeh its a well done head liner, I did the doorcards and other trim as I had the time.
The shifter has the push button lock out for reverse which is all I need.
