ALSO CAUTION: I was doing some high speed runs and noticed friction the car was getting shaky at high speeds, scared the **** out of me.

Yeah, I plan on staying out of the rain with these if at all possible. If I do get stuck I'll be driving like an old lady.

i had the oil pressure problem in my SC61 on my MR2 turbo. I ended up using a nitrous jet kit to find the right restrictor. those damn 360 race bearings are a SOB. If you would like I could find the restrictor that worked for me.
these were the part #s from Summit
NOS-17952NOS -3an to flare
http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...03581&D=303581
for the jet kits.
I am pretty sure It was the .24 jet. I am not 100% I have since sold the car, So I will have to double check.

Yeah, I'm not going to say what the exact cause is of the issues we've been having with the car until we've figured it out and can say exactly what was causing it. I'm just happy to say that after a lot of swapping out parts and phone conversations, I think we're finally on the right track to getting the car running 100%.
Despite what "some people" on here have been insinuating, the car has been running for almost a month. It just hasn't been at the point where we'd feel comfortable throwing a high boost race gas tune on it and pushing for real power.
I think I can speak for everyone involved that the car won't be rolled out until it's 100% right and ready to go. It's been SO close for a while, I just hope we're almost ready to wrap it up.
