Good job buddy! Now it's time for the roll cage...... no Sleep! KGB!
No, really. Awesome job, can't wait for the break in to be over and for you to actually have some fun with that thing. Oh and do you have any extra FD compression tubes (stock) laying around?

720+ break in miles achieved. Went on the Medford track twice, not issues, will need to make ducting for sure to aid cooling for autocross style events. Highest temps seen were 207 water and 225 oil.
Will be at IPD today after 3-4pm, will be at the dyno for sometime. Wish me luck.

Well, it was a productive dyno session, but ran out of time to finish the initial tuning. Most of the time was spent playing with the Synapse WG settings to get it to achieve the desired boost. We got it, but I still need to play around some more. Wasn't able to touch any of the Chuck Westbrook's base timing maps. Once I start playing with the timing I should get a lot more power, as it is the timing is super conserviative, which isn't a bad thing. Was able to achieve 373whp and 268 ft-lbs torgue at 15 psi. Had a few hiccups while on the dyno; I melted one of the straps and melted the paint off the bumper. Fortunately Haiphem caught the strap before we did another run, which would have been really bad. And the melted bumper was from the exhaust tube that was put on. The bumper and the exhaust tube melted. Will fix the bumper later, right now I have some heat shielding on to prevent further damage. I will post video later.
And it wasn't IPD, it was another shop IPD contracts work out to, that has a Mustang Dyno. I will get the full details on these guys later. Haiphem is going to Cali this week so the next dyno session will be Monday/Tuesday of next week. This current tune should be good for Packwood this weekend.
The part that bolts to the throttle body, IC pipe piece (stock). I need to start figuring something out for piping on the big car. Got the motor in!!! Just need master cylinder (clutch) and a driveshaft. About to start wiring in the motor and should be running by tomorrow?!?! Anyway, your awesome and if you could let me know of the best place to get cage materials???

Tube Services is a good place to get it. The pricing won't be much different from place to place. See if you can get a discount through Pineapple though.
Good luck with getting the 929 running.
Alright, first competition event SCCA Solo - Packwood, WA - Saturday afternoon.

Well done on getting it all together. Having just gone through a 2 year rebuild effort on my FD I found reading your periodic updates very motivational and inspirational. And I cant help but think of the McLaren F1 engine bay that is lined with gold foil for heat management when I see you engine
Keep up the good work and thinking outside the box!
Well, finding a few little things that need fixing. The big one is one of the -10AN oil fittings on the drive oil cooler is leaking. Will need to replace that. I was able to get an air filter on the TB BOV and fixed a few little issue with vacuum lines. I have now offically killed two EGT probes with less than a thousand miles on them. I'm seriously thinking of going to the SPA dual egt unit now.
Started working on the seats last night and I will be forming up some side mount plates and then weld them to some modified stock rails. The Seat buckle tab and bar had to be removed, but I have a fix for that, the only potential problem is it won't work for a short driver.
Found my oil leak, my Mocal oil cooler sprung a leak at the fitting. These things are rather fragile, that's two oil coolers now that started leaking at the attachment fitting. Anyways, got them fixed and also made the seat brackets. Tonight is going to be a late one for tomorrows AutoX.
Congratulations!
