quick update. car is running great; it's a real rocket. i've ordered an accusump that i'll be installing in a week or two. i finally feel comfortable that i've shaken the car down enough to hit the track. april 11th is the day. i am going to set the car up EXACTLY the same as the day i blew the engine:
same weight, tires, alignment, etc.
the goal is to isolate the time difference ONLY from the engine. also, i'm a little rusty. it's been almost 2yrs since i hit the track. my bogey time is 1:11.6. anything below this is all engine. obviously i'll tape a session or two.
one other note: when i drilled out the exhaust manifold bolts, i meant to post a link to the centering tool i used to get the pilot holes so nice. this thing is AWESOME. it's called the quikcenter and i highly recommend it:
