DEAREST TED:
After wasting 3 -4 ounces of good Guinness laughing my a$$ off at your comment:
"Slower than Teby in a singles bar." which was obviously taken from Terry Nuckles book; "113 Witty Dive Bar Comebacks" (Circa 1965) ..
It seems you are engaging me into a challenge in which I must retort.
As we speak Pat Downs and I are working on a super secret engine build that is so secret that anyone who reads this post has to eat it after doing so.. (SEE VIDEO LINK BELOW) I cannot stress to you enough that your car may "go to 11" when completed.... rest assured mine will go to 11 & 1/16th. with a 4 speed!!!!!! do I need to send pics of my tack and speedo representing 3400 rpm at 90mph? Now with the new super secret engine build I'm looking at hmmmmm let see .............. I'm sorry too secret to say!!! Lets just meet on HWY 1 in June.. 
LOL LOL !!
(FOR ALL WHOM ARE THINKING A TRANS REBUILD, tips on a 5 speed effect with a 4 speed trans)
Ted I know your set on a 5 speed but if configure your trans like I did you can get that 5 speed effect without the extra expense, and keep it a 4 speed, just need to do your home work. Working with Scott Sebastian ( Metal Craft ) transmission guru and all around transmission genius. He guided me to the Weddle Industries site weddleindustries.com. They have a gear ratio calculator and you can input all sorts of scenarios.. That's how I was able to decide my trans gear ratios .. Its driver preference. I wanted to keep the 4 speed, so with a taller 4th it acts as an overdrive without any lug on the engine..(depending on the ratio you pick) also allows me to have more peddle if needed without maxing the RPM!! It's simple to read and it has all of the info you need like, Vehicle speed, top speed, rpm drops and alternate gear combinations... What I liked most is the Vehicle Speed chart that shows the gears and the speed for each ( after you enter the ratios). You could spend hours fine tuning the exact ratios that suit your needs..
Yes the Synclink is the way to go.. although mine is behind the shroud it still works flawlessly.. Although when Pat Fine tunes my engine he does mumble something while tinkering with it... The Jaycee hex head idle jet holders ARE worth every penny and work great Wish I had them last year 
Big thanks to Sacto Mitch for all of his help, even though I had to limp Ms Jill home.. Mitch worked hard to help fix my situation.. Thank you again sir..
other than that " I Got nothing"....
see you all soon ... looking forward to meeting some newbies as well the SLO run is a blast.. !!!!

ps TED please see video link below... did I say my car will go to "11 1/16?"
