Worked awesome! The tires haven't even slipped once, not a tiny bit of understeer. I could have gone faster, but was a bit carefull there as you might understand.
It feels nimbler with the smaller wheels, but that might have been the now more responsive engine as well.
Did the synchronisation today as I still hadn't even done that since it was running for the first time last week (just by ear). It does rev great now!

Some testing at 23-24 psi showed the limit of the straight acn's pushrods for me now:

F...ck, I am at the office and I cannot pump up the volume on youtube

Well, tbh, the sound was much better IRL then on the vid afterwards... so your not missing that much
