Thanks Shane. I am gonna put around 500 miles on this setup and get a max power tune done for 91. Then I will run E85 and get a max tune on that as well. Hoping for the 800whp mark.

Update:

Video uploaded. It's unedited, so just click through. Idle was misfiring at first, and got it adjusted towards the end of the video.

Just a little. He adjusted the distributor and all good. Can't wait to get fully tuned.

Lowered the front of the car. Looks better now. I washed it too, but couldn't get pictures of it, too dark outside.

Thanks for all the kind words. I've been enjoying the car. Loving the sound once again. Can't wait to turn it up. New tires should be here in a day or two.

Update:

Figured I would give a status report on the car. I hit 200 miles on the build since starting the car, and there are no leaks or oil consumption. It drives nicely, but needs a retune to make use of all the new parts. I will hopefully hear from Cameron of Dollar Store Tuning to see when he is ready to do it. The engine isn't making any noises, but puts out a good amount of heat in the engine bay. I can't remember if it did that before, but checking with the AEM the coolant temp is normal.

The clutch is finally getting broken in. At the beginning it would shudder pretty good at take off, but I have noticed that the problem is almost gone.

And Discount Tire said my NT05R should be there tomorrow. Can't wait to have some fresh rubber and a tune.

A before photo of the tires.
