Okay, so after a combination of letting Brett touch my car(a sad consequence of my ignorance), and a reputable machine shop basically ruining my block so the head gasket can't possibly seal against the deck, I kinda got fed up with the car and let it sit. Eventually the fuel in the lines got old enough, and the battery dead enough that it wouldn't run, and anyway, it burns oil and mixes the oil it doesn't burn, into the coolant.
I put about 400miles on the car before I mothballed it. Here's a video of basically the closest thing I have to a speed trial from that period. It was running at 7 or 8psi, and from 35seconds to about 1 minute you have a good wide open throttle and cruise down period:

No, I have no idea why I was talking so weirdly.
Look forward to updates as I'm driving hard to get this thing back on the road by new years.
