Something close to a Setrab Series 9 34 Row most likely.

Car is 99% Street Driven (Currently my DD besides when Ice/Snow is on the ground, or if I feel like driving the miata). The other 1% is autox (which the car group I am apart of puts on outside of local SCCA events) and backroad runs . Eventually a few trips to hallett will occur when I can get the car squared away. My car is the definition of "Track Inspired build" as it's not feasible to make it to the track yet.

I don't really ever plan to run slicks but I am aware of oiling issues. One of the reasons my first engine only lasted 8k miles. TSP assures me I don't have anything to worry about (As does a local drag car builder), but if I didn't, the first engine wouldn't have failed. Will eventually go Dry Sump when the funds become available.
