... seat tilt mod kit from Mr.Thayer. I've never felt I need it, but so many rave reviews, I feel I need to try it!

Gotta give an update on this...
(clutch pedal stopper thing)
My clutch pedal has a bit of side to side slop in it, AND the shitty foam stickers you see that they put on came off so the pedal will occasionally slip off to the side. Very gay.
my coworker went totally above and beyond and threw the bolt onto the lathe and put this nice pattern into it (originally it was quite smooth)
Kind of doubt that epoxy will hold it, I'm betting that I'll have to put a screw or two into it. But we'll see.
Added some foam rubber + tossed it in... Feels pretty solid. Still sort of pissed that it didn't work as promised off-the-shelf.

Nick G tune and some dyno time at MaxPSI today. Finally cracked 400whp
'98 RMS stage 2+++++(491whp/390tq VAC cams, CES Cutring-9:1, Built blower, Meth etc)

400... That's incredible
I pick it up tomorrow.
It's not the same dyno, MaxPSI switched out the SuperFlo which is a bummer. But I left a couple weeks ago with 350whp@9psi and timing being pulled and running rich. This morning with the new tune it was mid 350's@9psi, nice curve, much fatter mid range. We threw on the 3.125" pulley and cracked 400. But going to a 3.33" pulley tomorrow, should end with 395-410whp after the revision. When I move I will run E85 and throw on the 2.85" pulley for 16psi which should put me in the mid high 450-465whp range.
Its not the 500-600whp some of the turbo guys see, but I love my boost on the cheap blower setup.

how stout are the drivetrain and other bits? I think I remember reading that the Dinan kits include subframe reinforcement but other than that are they able to cope with 2-3x the power they came with?

Coco mats. They are very nice.
Inspection II and a set of fan belts.

bought some side markers from eBay, "ikon motorsports" or something. Pretty decent quality, they fit perfectly and included tinted bulbs. I ordered them friday and they were in my hands this morning...
I bought the manifold last year and finally installed it last weekend:
