Maybe I missed it, but do you have a way to log fuel pressure? The fuel trim going lean on the track while being fine on the dyno might be either fuel slosh starving the pump, or maybe the added...

Just don't run the sensor too far back. It needs heat to work, and too far away it'll get cold and 'lazy' in it's response.

In my mind, you need to consider two factors:

How much is your car worth to you?

What did those wheels cost?

Personally, I'd scrap 'em. Can they be fixed? Probably. Will they ever be 100%...

That coolant temp sensor you swapped locations isn't just a display, right? It's part of the Sniper EFI? It's real possible that the 'tune' is now off due to it seeing much higher coolant/engine...

After many, many years of driving stripped down cars I now couldn't imagine not having AC. Was one of the first things I got running 100% in my '98!

Didn't know you tossed all the HVAC stuff, so I guess that doesn't matter. Whoops.

You could always use that tank/pump combo to run all the vacuum stuff so that you have a strong reliable vacuum signal to run your interior stuff, and the hoses could be hidden nicely in the fender...

Did you install the pump as well, or just the reservoir?

Well, it all depends on how much vacuum the engine makes. If the booster needs 12"hg and the engine only makes 10" hg, you're still going to have issues. The reservoir can't 'make' vacuum. The pump...

The main reason I mentioned adding the can is that the brake booster, when depressed, might need more vacuum than the pump can provide in a 'surge' which may result in an odd brake feel or worse yet,...

Those double-adjustable rear control arms, when you put them together did you grease or anti-seize the threads? If you do any amount of wet weather driving it's a fair bet that those will rust up,...

True, but the airflow wouldn't be as the butterfly valve would be partially closed. In any case, now you know what to watch for next time around!

Maybe check your throttle linkage and make sure you're getting WOT when you hit the pedal? Also check the TPS if the mechanical side of things is right.

Being able to see your fuel pressure is nice.

Watching your car burn down due to a fuel leak, not so much.

Why not drill and tap the manifold for a 3/8" (Or #6 AN if you want to be fancy) fitting? You'll get the correct flow without the hose shenanigans.

Also: What's your initial (idle) timing? That...
