I'd check to make sure all the bits are tight underneath and I'd recommend a carbon or aluminum drive shaft if you'll be racing, but not required by any means as it doesn't help much but every little bit helps. I could say a lot more but start with that.

Cool I will definitely check the fluids and I already have a carbon fiber drive shaft. I would love to build the used motor I found (2k miles on it), but sadly don't have the extra money right now to do so. I don't plan on running any more boost. Just the occasional E85 days.
The original plan was to start tracking this car, but now that I blew the motor I'm kind of hesitant. I will probably play it cool for a year and it see how everything goes.
