Alright guys, good news. There were no problems with the car! Finally good to hear that. However, I ran out of fuel injectors lol.
After some quick teasing from Hal and Eddie, I was giving my dyno plot:
I think they said this was at 16psi. Hal said that he tried higher boost and that the injectors would go lean a little over 6k rpm. He gave me two options, finish up the tune with these injectors or upgrade the fuel system and finish the tuning on higher injectors.
The 514 shown is before any extreme tuning was done, it is a very conservative tune. I am not exactly sure what I am going to do yet. They are coming up with some fueling options for me and then I will either keep these injectors or upgrade and tune for more power.
If I keep these, the final number may be 515 or somewhere higher. I will update once all is decided lol. But again, it is nice to know all of the problems are fixed!
This was on pump gas, 93 octane

Thanks guys!
I will have some new photos up once the snow/salt clears from here. Gonna get the car nice and clean first. But don't worry, they will definitely be up. Green, you need to get your car to the paint booth now!! I don't know how much longer I can wait.
I am using the 3.3FD. I took it from my auto
I should be getting some loans for pharmacy school soon, I cannot think of any better way to spend it then on some injectors lol. I am hoping for some bigger numbers then.

Hey guys, a little update. I have decided to go with PTE1200cc injectors for the time being. I just cannot afford the ID2000's right now. Maybe later down the road. I am going to get the PTE's, a single aeromotive regulator, some high flow fuel rails, a little braided line, a few fittings, and then re-tune. I decided to go against the e85. I am just going to try to max out the car on pump gas and then possibly do a race gas tune so that I can have the map for drag times
My BOV has shat on me lol, so I about to purchase a new one. A little bit after that I am going to try to get the fuel system put in.
I almost have my gauges completely installed. I was waiting on an extension wire for my oil pressure. I have all the wires ran, just need to solder them up. Especially the Haltech AFR gauge.
I got to drive the car a couple times over the weekend when we had some 50 degree weather. I absolutely love it. It pulls so much harder than my original set-up. I have to roll my rear fenders though because the car is squatting so much, the fenders are rubbing the tires. I have had no issues thus far. I have had a couple questions about things and Hal and Eddie were right there to help me. They are truly great guys.
Just a couple of the gauges install in progress:
Here is the fuel and haltech mounted to go into the center cubby.

Haha, I figured you may like that
An awesome deal just happened to fall into my lap. I really want the ID2000's but no way I can budget it right now. It will give me something to look forward to down the road.
Thanks Goblin, I just need this damn cold/wet weather to go away!
As for a little update
My HKS valve was acting funny so I got this bad boy
Got my friend to weld on the flange for me. Took him about 10 mins.
Final product:
A couple pics:
Once the weather clears up and I can detail her, I'll get some good ones

I am tuned with VE
Ha, I can send you some OEM size front rotors with PMU colored hats :P
A lot of time and money has definitely been spent on this. But it is so worth it. I have had an absolute blast these last couple of days. Even with the cold weather. The only thing that is no fun is the refilling of the gas. Just take your time and make sure you get the right/best parts. If you don't have the money, just wait and save, don't skimp on anything as you go. With the build you're going to be doing, it will definitely save you in the long run!
Ha, oh trust me it is. Last night I got to show a nice mustang gt and a 6.0 gto what is up. No one around here has any faith in imports. They all think I am some ricer with an exhaust. It is all about mustangs and LSX's. I love proving them wrong!
Ran from a roll with the GTO at about 45 or so in 3rd gear around 3200rpm (Figured I'd give him a chance). Pulled about 10 car lengths on him. I feel myself getting into some trouble once summer comes around.
I will get some once the gauges are done and it is cleaned up!
Haha, so where are the pics of the wheels?!
