Going from the AST to the overflow tank........ Are you going to wrap up the wiring in heat wrap or other material? And did I miss it but did you powder the pulleys yourself as well?

i have an after market coolant overflow tank in my track car, dunno what kind it was there when i purchased the car... but i can post pics if you guys want to see it, its pretty plain, looks like an aftermarket ast but with only one entry hose, just a metal tank...
on a side note, the car also has a pettit aftermarket ast tank, but i plan on eliminating the ast all together for space reasons....

well, a lot of people have been PM'ing me asking questions, so i figured i'd update this thread
motor is in, running great, having steve kan tune it made all the difference in driveability, partial throttle, cranking, etc
with the stock (unported) twins/wastegate, i get about 10-11psi with the wastegate wide open
I am currently running 12psi on the street, it's doing great....my biggest issues are the clutch, it's an OEM pressure plate (brand new) and 6 puck unsprung disc
if i launch hard, the clutch slips in every gear, seems like it doens't like heat, so i'm shopping around for a stronger pressure plate
I had oil analysis done on the engine, everything is looking good so far, chromium count was high, so I am concerned about the amount of wear the Rotary Aviation seals are putting on the housings. hopefully this is a break-in thing
i am pulling the motor out after track day, to fix the broken motor mount (which a torque brace is band-aid'ing right now) and check the tolerances on the apex seals
hopefully by then i'll have a stronger clutch to install, along with the oil pan brace from staffs auto
