Get the car fixed, and go to a good local tuner.

Tune is THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of the build. That's why so many people spend weeks remote tuning with specialty Z if they dont have a proven local guy.

Drove the car around the block this morning (65 degrees outside) and it seemed ok! I recorded a bunch of data on my drive, will be analyzing the data for anomolies.

Cannot be emphasized enough.

The car isnt pinging but seems to be lagging or resticting...may be in limp mode. I did a normal drive and recorded data. On normal drive everything seems normal except Knock Strength went up to 27000 and MAP was always 0v. Checked the MAP connector and it was fine, the looked up my PLX gauge and had it report MAP and it reported fine. So Uprev's new RomEditor software version broke the MAP reporting.
My mechanic said he bets it is bad or stale gas...and it did start right after I bought 93 at a Sheetz and it acted really bad on the warm day. I find it hard to believe stale gas would behave that radical but I will try to run the bad gas out on these cooler daysand if I cant run it all out I will open up the tank and siphon it out.

When I am confident it isnt a damaged engine I will get it retuned.
