Well, guess what! Somebody on here a while back warned me of engine/tranny problems with my current setup on an old motor, and I now need the following: new head gasket (suprised?), timing chain, lifters, piston rings, transmission, motor mounts, main bearings, and an entirely new exhaust system (including cat). Oh well, it just gives me an excuse to build a better mouse trap. But I did manage to beat my friend's 87' Vette. And a hopped up gen II Eclipse GSX (by the skin of my teeth). And an old Porsche 911. And a naturally aspirated Mustang Cobra (barely). And a supercharged SVT Focus. And a stock 3000GT VR-4 (also barely). And I managed to get 10.5 PSI without going nuts with the APC box at 5280 ft above sea level... I can't wait till' I put my new motor in!
