Damn man sorry to hear, I know someone mentioned the VVEL controls, are they new?

The car drives fine when cool but once it gets hot it's missing like crazy

This is a good sign it's not mechanical. Something related to fuel/ignition/tune, etc.

I predict a bonehead fuel leak in tank, or connector off.

It's hot! Go swimming instead.

Wishing you well. Keep us posted.

Congrats! Stay out of boost for at least 1k miles if you can. Looking forward in seeing more videos of your pulls.

The Piston rings will seat way before 1000 miles vary the rpm some.

No WOT but some and change the oil after a few hundred miles or so.

The biggest mistake people make in big builds is not doing a real contract with solid dates and penalties against their labor charges if they don't meet targets. Customers shouldn't have to suffer because most shops out there can't manage their work load and rarely refuse to take on work even when they can't keep up with what they already have. A contract with teeth keeps you at the front of the line.

Let's hope you won't have to do another build like this ever again!
