Thank you - I appreciate that. I definitely have had a hard time with it, but... i'm just so stubborn that I have to finish what I had started. Thankfully the car is different enough (at least mechanically) that i'm starting a little ahead of where I was, but still just rough enough to keep it interesting.
I have a few things ahead to do and get it a little better sorted:
- TOB is squealing so I went ahead and bought a new one, firewall adjuster and clutch quadrant - i'll see if I can adjust it enough to get the TOB off the pressure plate
- The car came with a fully-built 35-spline strange SRA setup with a spool. yes, a 35-spline spool. So I ordered a 35-spline strange s-trac differential so I can actually street drive the car. The rear-end is dope though, all welded axle tubes, welded team z bracing and all. It's probably good for 1500hp lol.
- Full-length subframe connectors because the 'verts are wet noodles when it comes to chassis rigidity.
- Billet idler pulleys (3) as the factory ones are known to.. explode lol.
Otherwise I adjusted the tune to make it a little richer across the board by a few pts. I was sitting around 11.5-8 at WOT and i'd like it to sit a little richer. Next on the list:
- front coil overs from Maximum motorsports, camber plates, koni SA (again lol) and then the car should be in a good spot to do the fun stuff. Tentative plans are a Whipple 2.9, full return fuel system and just see what a 93 tune nets out to be. Maybe mid-600's or so and leave it there.
