The wait is almost over. At 7:46pm, the GS-T breathed for the first time since receiving a complete bottom-end overhaul. At the shop (Saturn of Peoria), she has been parked outside of my rack for three weeks, and 18 hours worth of work later, she fired up on the third kick. Freaked me out for a second, as soon as I started her, she was knocking to beat hell. Alas, as soon as oil pressure built, the knock was gone and she settled in to a nice rich idle, with 550s, a Walbro 255, and NO AFC. You can practically see the fuel dripping out of the exhaust. I gotta drive 500 or so easy miles, and tune the S-AFC, but we're "over the hump" so to speak. More updates to come, as soon as I can really drive the car. I took two laps around the lot and tucked her in the shop...
