A video of Matt with my window regulator. I bet I have 20 hours into the stock one. This is a repopped one from zcardepot. 

Matt is a wizard with this stuff.

I admired your willingness to complicate things X 6 when you went with the Jenvey ITB’s. I was confused when you went with the SK’s, though I love the nostalgia factor.  Was worried you would reach a tuning dead end but I’ll admit, I’m amazed at how well that thing runs. 
get out and drive an let Haltech do the tuning from here!

I have a dyno tune session booked. But the tuner kind of rubs me the wrong way. 

I love unique things and a challenge. I also hated the black bodies of the Jenvy. The SK look rad. That being said I think I would pick borla if I started over.

Well sadly my ported E31 head was in an engine shop fire. Luckily my 3.1L was pretty far away from the flames. Well lots of elbow grease and 4 hours in my vapor blasting cabinet and it looks as good as new!. Now time to have it put back together.

Still straight and flat? I would think it got close to 230d F

It will get checked again. Fingers crossed. It will go back to the machine shop to get decked again and re lap the valve seats. 
 

first it needs to go in a large ultra sonic tank.

One of my issues so far with running is my injectors that fit nicely into the throttles are a V stream. So I believe they are just spraying on the walls. 
 

I am going to switch out to DeatschWerks 18U-00-0035-6. Single cone spray. They use the same connector. Hopefully I can get the correct orings to deal well. Tiogatold me to do this in the start. I should have listened.

My friend swapped my clutch and fixed some bugs. 
 

But putting my center console back in, he pinched a wire on the o2 sensor. Shorted and burnt my dual o2 can sensor up.

Is there a typo?  Why would a shorted O2 sensor affect a cam sensor?  And why would anything "burn up"?  No fuses? 

Just wondering.

Duffy, are you using the Haltech Can Bus? I have a local dealer. Though I doubt he stocks anything. Are you going to have to order this from OZ?
