Fixed all KNOWN problems last night, first was wiring in the fuel pump relay wrong, then i had a bad sensor ground for my wide band and MAP sensors, then we had a stuck IACV, then a backwards wired radiator fan...
Got the car running last night and it felt great driving it, haven't had it running in over a year! Running the old map I had from Tony Palo when my car was SCed, we just disconnected the IC pipe that connects to the TB so the car won't see any boost until we get it to a dyno.
Been up for over 24 hours straight getting things cleaned up in the car
. I did wire in my full sound system and sub though 
.
I only have the driver side innovative 75a motor mount in and not both and the car didn't really seem to vibrate too bad... Also the CC 6puck clutch is not as bad as I thought it would be, just need to get used to it and break it in.
Don't have a tune date yet. want to get atleast 500ish reliable miles in before i put on my new rubber, get an alignment and get tuned up.

put about 170 miles on the car so far! 100 of them driving tonight.
Was planning on making a surge tank but was more expensive then I planned
. So i'm keeping my dual walbro setup. Also upgraded my injectors so now i'm rockin ID2000s.
The car has a pretty good base tune on it now as far as afr goes. tomorrow we fine tune cold start up and cold idle. and tuesday i'm going to call to rent dyno time. going to show up with full tank of 93 octane and 2 5 gallon jugs of e85. I hope to be able to break 600whp on e85 and get around 550 on pump.

ah man i forgot I even had that meth kit.... 570 with meth maybe? not sure... seeing other people make it into the 500s with the ptuning kit on pump gas makes me think I may not even use the meth kit...
