Been a while, but we got it on the ground! Unfortunately, it looks like it's jacked up in the rear. I think I know what the problem is, though. The sway bar is touching the pumpkin in the back, so I think the end links need to be tighter and it should solve our issues.
Also, we ran into a pulley alignment issue. The alternator we put on the car was off an Impala...apparently the alternators are the same but the pulleys are differnet. Luckily we had a spare with a pulley that sits 0.125" further forward. Haven't put it on but it should (hopefully) solve our belt shredding issues.

Do any of you guys know where we may be able to find some tune files online? We have a tuner cats on the way. I've seen the site Monodax referenced on the forum, but I don't think the site is around anymore. Ultimately we'll probably have Solomon tune it.

I think bfranker has a page with some base tune files to download.

We got it out of the garage and spent several hours polishing it. Here's a video of it running:
Kind of awesome considering we have literally $1700ish in this car. Goes to show what can be done for cheap. Right now we have an issue with the car not wanting to go into gear. Followed the instructions on shbox to readjust the shifter and that didn't help. The shifter feels like crap, so I'm really thinking we have a bind somewhere in the shifter. The trans shift lever feels nice and very notchy from the adjustment.
