Thanks guys.

The tork tek ofv did help a bit, gauge does not jump around like it did.

Still have the sputter on startup, I ran a hose right off the lift pump into a can of fuel and still looked like I had air, I don't see any bubbles in the return at idle but when it's revved there is a rush of what looks like bubbles.

I've got over 400 miles on the clutch now so I have been rolling into throttle a bit harder and it definitely feels better.

The way my throttle linkage is set up it takes a lot more pedal input than original. It's hard to say if the pump is just not fueling down low or what but it takes much more throttle to get into the torque than the VP did. (Which with the smarty was right off idle)

Is this a characteristic of the ppump and 16* timing or do I just need to keep increasing preboost? I have the starwheel all the way forward and have been increasing preboost in small amounts on every drive. Still have a ways left to go.

The top end power is much better than the VP but I'd like to have that grunt off the line of possible.
