technically ya should not use a bottoming cutting tap it's best to use thread chaser
She RUNS! And moves, too.
Initial impressions on the clutch are nice... light pedal, not too noisy when the pedal is down, I can feather it from a dead stop to start the car without using the gas at all.
Initial impressions on the Aeromotive stealth pumps... these things are QUIET. Like so quiet I had to turn down the stereo in the garage to make sure they were turning on.

Somewhere over 1k hp, depending on boost pressure. They push 340 lph, so two of them is very close to running triple wallys.
Installed the Fluidamper over the weekend. Had it on the dyno last week, and blew off the flex pipe between the wastegate and the exhaust. We jerry rigged the existing pipe back into place, ordered a new flex section, and I'll have Tommy weld that in this week, then back on the dyno she goes.
No fuel issues at all while it was on the dyno, though, which is nice.
Clutch update: Seems to be getting quieter as it breaks in. I'm still only 200 km into the 700 km break in period.
I suppose I'm going to have to update the first page summary one of these days. Pretty sure it's way out of date.

New tires are broken in, and they are different to say the least. At least twice as much effort to turn the steering wheel now, which is odd, as the tires are only 10mm wider. Wonder how well it'll hold the corners on autocross now?
Alignment is in the cards anyway - I lifted the front end back up half an inch because I'm bloody tired of dragging the exhaust over every little bump in the road.
Oh... had Bill do some more work on the tune. Not the best conditions, it's 35c inside the shop during the day, but even so, he squeezed a bit more out of it. Still just pump fuel, of course, I've got no use for a race fuel tune.
^ you should buy my old trubo just littel bigger then ya got now just on the exhuast thou

Mine is a 67 with a .68 exhaust. I don't think I'd like giving up spool for a bit more top end - I almost never use the power anyway, and area under the curve beats top power numbers every time.
Well... I *was* planning on using it to make my computer system into a touch screen. Unfortunately, after some fiddling, I don't think that's going to happen. It's really good for grand, sweeping motions - but it's really, really, terrible when it comes to fine tuning.suprarx7nut;1957579 said:
