Getting ready for the fist start next week and have some last minute questions.

I’m running a BPE 347 with Sniper. All indications for the electrical seem to point to correct function—gauges are operating and fuel pump operates through sniper wiring. I have initial fuel pressure on the regulator gauge. I will perform the pre-start for the engine per Blueprint i.e. pulling plugs/cranking etc. I’m using Blueprint’s break-in oil, and all other fluids besides transmission have been added.

1. What transmission fluid do most use for the Tremec?

2. Do I add coolant fluid to the radiator overflow tank?

3. I’ve done the initial Sniper setup. It asks for an idle rpm target and the manual suggests a range. What’s a good idle number?

4. Side pipes are at Ken Pike’s place in CA (I’m in AZ). Will absence of side pipes be a problem? I have the O2 sensor on the passenger side header.

5. I’d like to add a fire extinguisher to either the cabin or trunk. Recommendations are appreciated.

Thank you all for the help.
