1LEornothing: No argument on your comments. It was fun while it lasted...ultimately, I was likely pushing too much boost for track duty/autobahn for the available 98 octane German fuel. I used octane booster to lessen some of the knock I was seeing...timing was dialed back as well. OEM pulleys resulted in nearly 12 pounds...but a long top end run is incredibly hard on equipment.
Minor progress...got the 112 pound block on the engine stand (two sizes of bellhousing bolts!):
