Trans has been out and put back in. Issue with clutch was slave related and specifically about being a cheap china knockoff piece (From O'Reillys) that had all the markings of a GM piece so i mistakenly assumed same. My fault. Also with new trans and new slave, I should have RE-measured for clutch spacing/shimming needed and I didn't. My mistake.

Trans is back in, with a GM replacement slave, measured out and in the range of what is acceptable per Manuf Recommendations.

I will check this evening to see if the clutch releases like it should after bleeding fully. After that is confirmed I will be re-installing all the turbo piping / exhaust I had to remove, and the new Bowler shifter (previous had split the boot and was leaking).
Old T56 magnum shifter with 300 miles:


New shifter and new seal design:




Based on some signs of fuel starvation and the car having so much left on the table power wise, I've started to collect parts for fuel system change:
Vaporworx controller:


Twin Walbro 525LPH (285s) in custom Housing:


Fancy fuse panel for pump and future amp ANL fuses:


Not shown is the new Fuelab FPR, hoses/fittings, etc needed for the pump and fuel rail feed changes.

Also have some more items on order for changing the WG control to Dome control and twin solenoids. Hoping it all fits around what I already have but there is more work needed there, like drilling and tapping the compressor housing, so that will be a bit.
