Great build man! I just sold all my sbf stuff and bought an lq9. Exhaust valves weren't sealing well while swapping springs for the new cam. My 317's are getting a valve job now. Your thread answered a lot of my questions I had. I'm running holleyhp efi. It's for an 89 lx. No turbo till I dial it in n/a. I do have a small nitrous shot I left in the car tho. Any advice for someone starting fresh to the lx world?

ok so after 2 blown motors in 6 months im back in the saddle. car is running well. took her to the track and got my personal best so far. the car was seeing phantom, or as denmah would say, *inorganic* 
knock, so it reverted to the low timing tables so i ended up getting a high of 8.5* timing on this run. we had commanded 16* so needless to say it was down about a 100 horse. we copied and pasted the high table into the low and made it so knock will never be seen so the problem is solved. nonetheless i got booted off the track for no license.

well i made my mind up not to bump this thread until the car went 8s.
its taken me a long *** time to figure out my suspension because im really really stubborn. i finally broke down and listened to some guys that know their ****. i got a total of 5 runs yesterday. i went from spring pressure (9 psi) to 19 psi over the course of those 5 runs. i didnt touch my a/f or timing on any of them. i wanted to get to 23 psi then start messing with fuel and timing but they booted me for no gloves or neck brace after i went 8s. my a/f was in the low to mid 10s on every run and timing was at 16*. i think it easily had an 8.7x in it just by leaning it out.
