Motor got rebuilt and dropped back in

The irons were glassbeaded and apparently some of glass wasn't completely cleaned out. This was the info I recieved from the owner. He put it back together and traded it for a widebody first gen. As far as I know, the car is in Virginia right now still runnng fine. I hate that it got away before we dynoed it. But onother 6 port bridge is just around the corner.

Keeping it N/A didn't warrent running a different regulator. As far as the timing, it seemed happiest at 10*. We just ran 680cc secondary injectors. You just have to play with the TPS to get it right. Idled rock steady at 1800rpm. I do plan on building another one when I get the oppertunity. I was amazed at how well the car ran.
