New UMI upper control arms did the trick. Front wheels are now tucked back under the fender.

Now I'm waiting on a remote tune from Patrick Guerra. I have HP tuners Pro and an AEM wideband in the car so I edited my previous tune to idle and run the car to check for leaks. Car idles great but waiting on the actual tune from Pat G to drive the car. It's been a little over 3 weeks but I'm being patient. I've read a lot of good things about him.

Put about 150 miles on the engine. Car is definitely making plenty of power. Going to make a two hour round trip to a Cars and Coffee meet in Baton Rouge this Saturday. Hope to break in the new engine in time to make some passes at SCR in a couple of weeks.

Thanks guys. I'm also looking into some type of vacuum pump for this setup.
Thanks, I forgot I stripped one of the bolts on the exhaust clamp that holds the joint between the collector and x pipe so it came loose. I didn't notice the exhaust got louder but it threw a code. After I fixed that, I was focused on data logging it for Patrick G. Break in drive was awesome. I've been lucky enough not to have any issues thus far.

Thanks, it was a retired flag from work. Just happened to fit my wall perfectly.
