Sounds like fun. Since you are building a track car, one thing to think about before its too late:
If there is ANY chance that you are going to compete in future, time trials, racing etc with this car, be careful of the modifications you do now. You'll end up undoing a lot of things that do not conform to the rules.

Cool. Good luck man. Is your name Brad by any chance? I am taking my car to get tuned at CNC Engine Dynamics in winchester once my turbo build is finished. There tuner is Chris Miller. You can take it to Ptuning (Toan) which is good also, but they are pretty conservative and most people are dissapointed with numbers there. Other places are Inline Pro (expensive), I had my boosted integra tuned there, and I know of Infinte speed and performance (Brad) is there tuner. They mostly deal with Vipers and Supras, but Brads pretty good all around.
This is true. I had my car dyno'ed at two places before I started my build. I would have got it dyno'ed at isp before but there dyno was down. H4rdon works at CNC and thats who I am going through. I hear good things about them and the prices are reasonable.
Evans has a good record also from what I hear...but thats all hearsay.

Mr AK, sounds like a nice build but be sure and look over your engine mounts closely. They tend to fail at a pretty high rate. If you don't mind the vibration the 75A poly engine and transmission mounts are firm and pretty much indestructible.

Thanks Rob, they seem to look fine with the old engine still in place but will take a better look at the once its out. the trans im getting comes with an upgraded mount so i am thinking about maybe throwing in some new mounts. how bad is the vibration? i've been in cars with solid mounts and its a bit too much as i still drive this thing around daily.
