well its been sitting in the garage...waiting to install a few extra goodies like rear shock/springs (only stock parts left to replace) and i have a Quicktime SFI bellhousing to put on.
I've been having an issue with bank one being severly rich, like pegging out the wideband rich....10:1 or richer. i have had no luck figuring it out thus far. i've swapped injectors from side to side as well as O2 sensors and replaced a header gasket and the problem hasn't gone away or switched sides. i put an open loop tune in and it runs fine, so i suspect i have an exhaust leak somewhere near the driver's side O2 sensor, i just haven't had time to work on it.
i was offered a job in our quality department at work and i took it to get out of a dead end welding job. i spend around 60+ hours a week working and studying for NDE tests when i get home. The car has taken a back seat to that AND the addition of some kickass crappie fishing around here lately
Stats as of right now on the setup:
1 Power Tour Long Haul
2 passes at local track before being asked to shut it down due to no roll cage, best pass 11.20 @ 130mph with a 2.2 60'.
583rwhp 531rwtq with some small tuning adjustments left to do
i absolutly 100% positively will be doing the 2012 Power Tour, so at some point i will be digging back into the car and i'll post updates as they come up.

It only counts if you make it to Arlington....trailering a pile of parts across your home town to a big car show does not count as participating in the power tour....in fact, its frowned upon
you're in the same shape I was in this time last year, and I pulled it off. You have no excuses

Of course, it would come out to stretch its legs once in awhile 
You've set the bar pretty high buddy....I'll see if I can sneak under it
Ok so I completely wasted a day reading this thread! Sooo tempted to rub one out but thats frowned upon at work... Great build! I can't wait until you get this thing completely tuned and buttoned up!
