Front toe zero
Front Camber 2.1 degrees negative
Front Caster 5.5 Degrees
Rear toe 1/8 in
Rear Camber 2.0 degrees negative.
Can be a bit squirrelly on odd pavement.
I ran it with 1/8 out on the front for a while, scared my wife to death, os I backed off a bit.
Oh I run "R" rubber think BFG Rivals, RE-71-R etc... Even with these setting tread wear is pretty good. Rocks into the top of the fenders not good
You can glue in material to help with the issue. I would like to run a set of fender liners, but would need to make custom ones due to the flares.

Ok! Dyno tune is as far as they can take it.
320 Torque at 2900 RPM drops to 280 after 3k RpM)
280 HP at 5500 RPM.
Next x alignment and sort out fuel pump issue.

Back from alignment. Everything is roughed in.

3 days at alignment with specifics provided and this is what I get back.
Any ideas on the passenger rear? The toe in was the most they could get.

Confirm that the rear tires are centered on the chassis. I had the PorSTI aligned at a "hot rod" shop that did not understand the suspension and had the rear shifted to one side with similar results.
After much fussing a quick measurement from the wheels to the chassis revealed the

First street drive today. About a half mile. Well behaved at 1/4 throttle.
Next x finish mirror backing plates and install mirrors
Install Seatbelts.

Did you reuse the cables from the cold water kit or did you get new ones?

Jan 17 2019, 07:56 PM
I will report on this once it stops raining!
I got new cables. I was going to reuse my old ones till I realized that one was binding and had been crushed. Now I have to build a plate for my shifter to anchor the new style cables on. Oh well...

Right?
In Chris’s neighborhood they had flooding, then a water main broke. In fixing that, they hit a gas line... in fixing that, they knocked out a power line.
As far as the cables (since I changed them out) I soureced the from West marine.
Seastar Solutions Teleflex 4300 series cables part numbers CCX43008 (8ft) or TELCCX43007 (7ft).
If you get the CCX4330(length) that is the upgraded cable. Smaller radius bends. I went with the 8footer as I wanted to avoid my exhaust a little bit more.
You can probably order straight from seastar.
You will have to dig to find the bulkhead to bulkhead cables that Ian used.
I guess I should find one more and find my old shifting mech a new home.

I think you've got a problem with your linkage.
I mention it because your photo shows exactly the kind of mounting that I did with the ZeroDB linkage that was incorrect.
The little arm that mounts to the transmission output shaft should *not* be attached at the existing hole in the linkage. It needs to be mounted as close to the taper as possible,
with the goal (and heres the important part) of the linkage being as squared up (i.e. 90-degree angles everywhere) as possible when the transmission is in neutral.
If the arm is mounted at the stock hole in the transmission output shaft, the angles are not 90, and the shift pattern at the shifter will feel
not like an |-|-|, but much more like: |-\-/ because of the bad geometry.
On my race-car, the bad geo at the shifter resulted in 2 (!!!) mis-shifts at the track. I ultimately found the bad geometry, drilled a new hole in the output shaft, and sternly suggested to ZeroDB to send instructions with their kit.
Very best,
Mat

Thank you Matt!
I was told after the fact what needed to be done. I will be correcting this when I pull the transmission (probably next week). Need better gearing for the race track that is so cal.

Unfortunately not yet. I have to wire in the new computer and measure for 930 axles. Had a few home projects take priority during the hot months. So, back to it now that the weather is cooling down.
How have you been?
