so after a long time of screwing around with HP Tuners, i gave up. im going tried and true with a carb and dumping fuel injection since it is a lot easier for me to understand and tune. it runs finally and i have a little buttoning up to do with some wiring. brakes and a roll cage and itll be ready for the track. vids below
