Thanks man. When you've put so much time and effort into something it's always nice to get a virtual high five.
The short answer: my own stupidity. I wasn't checking the oil in between runs like I should have, and with it being a fresh rebuild it was consuming more oil than I expected...guessing the rings weren't fully seated yet. It developed a rod knock at the end of the second day, and there was barely any oil on the dipstick when I pulled it.

Now with video. My best lap of the day was a 1:34 - off a bit of my 1:33 personal best, but I'll take it considering I've given up ~20rwhp in favor of a more conservative tune.
That car was ridiculously clean and very nice. Wish I had some better pics of it.
Spot on

Hit the track again a week and a half ago. Was able to get down to a 1:33.8, a tenth better than my personal best at AMP.
In the paddock next to my brother's 993:
Refinished my ugly azz trailer a few weeks back too.

I haven't signed up for anything yet, but might run the MVP event close to the end of the year. How about you?
I know man - I'm long overdue for a trip to Barber!
I'd be happy to pick out a super gay paint color for you if you want to make your car more memorable

Wow, how the hell has two years passed without me updating this thread.
Car is still great; did a Road Atlanta event back in October and then AMP in the spring. I ran a 1:44 @ Road Atlanta; didn't even bother with the lap timer at AMP since I've been stuck at 1:33 for a few years now.
Here's a video from RA:
Lately, though, I've been focusing all of my efforts on my new build:
It runs the same lap times at AMP as my turbo car...but without a turbo

I've done a terrible job keeping this thread updated. Two years with no updates! Still have the car, still having a blast, have added XIDAs, an Autokonexion Fastback, a Trackspeed Radiator, 15x10s/ 245s, etc.
Took the car to Charlotte Motor Speedway this past weekend to "light up" the Roval. One of the best track days I've ever done.
I think I might need stiffer springs:
