It’s been a while since an update, I pulled the engine out of the car to inspect the engine after my failure in LA. Turns out a bolt fell into the intake and was holding the #7 intake valve open. The valve and seat was chewed up, so I got a used set of J heads and swapped the bad head out. While I had the engine out I installed headers and a 3000-3500 stall converter. Holy cow did it wake up! It peels tires without hesitation now and accelerates hard! It also sounds way better with headers over the manifolds.
