Good write up... haha that charge pipe picture is funny. Maybe you should post this up on honda-tech? Specifically the part about removing the AEM and installing uberdata.

Sucks about your motor cause I really wanted to race you. Hopefully by the time we do race my car will be bigger and better too.

Yeah, the AEM is being sold.

And yes, thats the same Del Sol from one of my burnout videos.

The shorty radiator isnt too bad. I elected to 'notch' the lower member to get it to sit a bit lower w/ less tilt. This included lopping off the stock lower mount. An upper mount was made.
As far as cooling goes, I logged water temp for about 6-7 full on panty-ripper runs. The car was at 198 at the start, dropped to 196 driving around and had a peak of 199 during the runs. (It should be noted that I am still running a drilled thermostat Nothing serious, about 4 1/4" holes)

And Dustin, Im sure an SC34 would be a perfect match for you. A bit pricey though, I only bought this because I got a JEW deal, and Ill never run out of turbo again.

On a 3rd gear pull from down low, I hit 5psi at 5k, and 10psi at 6k.

679 is still too much. Find a new/used one yo'
The DelSol is running a basic T3/4e w/ a .63 exh. side, and I was very suprised at how fast it spooled. Considering how cheap they can be picked up these days, It might be something to look into.

Aside from the price that I found, my decision was based on the expected appetite of my new project.
