afterwards, just need to seat the rings, change oil, scale car and verify alignment...on path to make a few test hits tonight...planning on entering in ODR race tomorrow.

so so night.
attempt first pass and had surging issues caused by crank sync. Fix and had decent second pass (low boost 330' checkout run). then the starter breaks trying to start car to pull in my pit spot. replace starter and up boost to 15 psi. Spins and runs 135 to the 1/8. shut off at 1/8 and coasts to 9.50. but it still is pushing oil into the turbo housings
Smoked real bad after last pass and charge pipe was oiled down 
Need to engineer a solution in the morning

need to design a tank for the oil to go to and the pump will pull from. at WOT and high rpm, it can't keep up with the oil leaving the turbo. didn't do it on the first two "passes" since they weren't long runs at high rpm.
