Picked up the car over the weekend and let me just say man that thing is way to much fun! 3rd and 4rth on the highway is just exciting! at 727rwhp its deff a fun car to drive. The car has pretty bad boost creep on the dyno but after I get that sorted out I should be able to make a bit more power. But with being a stock block, not sure how much further I want to push it with out hurting anything.
Also I want to take a quick moment and thank all of those that have helped through out the build. Couldn't of done it with out you folks so thank you, I very much appreciate all the information and suggestions that was given. There will diffidently be more coming!
Here's a short video of doing a pull on the way back from picking up the car. 3rd to 4rth.

very addictive lol
Went out for a drive last night and after a good pull the ignitoin started to break up. Ian did notified me that this would happen from time to time and that I should be looking to upgrade the coils. He recommended the AEM/proefi H.O coils which are off a Mercury Marine out bore engine. These are much more powerful than the lq9's and don't have to worry about them over heating at higher rmp.
He's not a fan of the lq9's because of there low dwell setting at higher rmp which is not ideal so so he recommended I go with the AEM/proefi H.O ignition coils instead. But I'm still not sure how they sit inside the head. Guess well have to see....

My friend has the HO Proefi Coils on his car, and they are bad *** for sure, Undercover performance Makes the Coil bracket to mount them on a tt valve covers.
LQ9 doesn't heat up at higher rpm , they have built in heat sink. the LQ9 have made 2500hp on 2JZ with 3.5ms dwell time and .30 gap on the plugs.

Exactly the same ignition setup I was recommended to use . Will set you back around $1300 - $1500 .. I love that proEFI ECU on my MKIV & SC so I want to use all components from proEFI for my current project. No more coil covers. Besides you want the coils exposed to cool them down.
If you do a search on google you can find these coils for about 70$ a peice which is much better than the 199.99 tag that proefi puts on lol. My buddy can get these at this price directly from Aem which I'll probably go with. Only thing setting me back is having them exposed as pictured. For me, I like a clean looking bay with not much going on. BUT, I do have an idea playing around in my head that will still allow me to cover them up with out hurting its performace. Just have to pull the trigger an get a set.

The funny thing is, these coils are just rebranded mercury marine IGN-1a coils. Proefi/aem adds the sticker to them along with a heavy price tag.

I know they being on top of the valve covers do not look so pleasing to the eye . I like the beastly look though. For my current project Red Mamba TWO , I would like it to have a simple but MEAN / BEASTLY looking engine bay.... everything for big hp since my stroker motor is on the works. . I will leave the Red Mamba ONE to get the bling blings .

True they are rebadged. Be careful though , the older and cheaper ones only outputs 105 joules while the High Outputs are 205 joules.

I ordered the AEM set sense they are cheaper 420$ shipped. I should have them sometime next week. Stay tuned!

So I now have a question. I noticed that I'm starting to get small puddles of oil...... at first I thought it was the rear output shaft seal of the trans but than while i was polishing an cleaning up the bay I noticed a puddle underneath the crank pulley area and now I'm thinking its the front main seal. But I will double check to see if its the front main or output shaft that's leaking sense the car was moved a few times from when I noticed the puddle.
I've read alot of guys having this problem but really no fix to it. What have most done about this issues? Any suggestions from folks that have dealt with this?
Here's a few resent pics
