Well... I can tune it, before you start it up this time if you'd like :).

Tough luck on that engine, but what a convinent deal that just came up!

Wow, holy crap, I will jump on that. Let me finger out my money, and I'll send you a PM, but I'm about a million percent sure I'll get it.

And yeah, the timing was synced, but not at high RPM (didn't adjust for drift, or check for it, for that matter). Like I said, this time will be done right.

Ouch. Well it happens to the best and the worst of us. Thats why I started with piggybacks and then training, then standalones. Everytime I've had to learn something knew it has been on a car I am 100% responsible for.

Timing drift/sync will eat you up at higher rpm. Plus in the beginning I know you were having driveability issues with huge AFR swings as well. Take it as a learning experience and be thankful it wasn't on a REALLY EXPENSIVE motor :).

Yeah, most of those driveability issues were my fault and I got them pretty much figured out. It's all good in the hood for now. :) Thanks for all your replies everyone.
