Default First/Only 2010 Pass

There's a story to go with it, but if you just want to critique my pass skip to the bottom, otherwise enjoy the read.

I've been building my setup for about a year now and have run into issue after issue. Setup is a stock '94 civic hatch.
Stock GSR block, eagle rods, 9:1 SRP pistons
Worked GSR head, ITR cams, ferra valve train
Stock LS trans
Hondata s300

Ran the car N/A while I got the turbo setup together. Dyno'd at 168hp/128tq. Since I knew I wouldn't be able to turbo it for a while I took it to the track for some seat time as I've never dragged before in my life this last June. Best time of the day was a 15.0 @ 100mph on bald snow tires (didn't really care about tires as I just wanted the seat time and experience.) Soon after my LS trans countershaft bearing exploded and forced me to source out a gsr trans.

Recently got my turbo setup finished PTE 5857 w/ ram horn manifold and straight through 3" exhaust. ID1000 injectors w/ walbro pump.

Took it to the dyno again for a tune and made 300hp/268tq before the 6-puck act started slipping. Drove the car home running rich having not finished tuning I ordered a new comp clutch. Got the clutch in and decided to play with boost by gear a little on my own. After 3rd is able to hold power my stock diff in the GSR trans decides to crap itself. In goes a Mfactory LSD...

Enjoying my new found power actually getting to the ground and only 2 days left for the track to be open(the next day definitely going to rain) I decide I better book it to the track and get a pass in before they shut down for the winter.

Cruising up I-5 to Portland I notice a coolant smell, since it goes away after we pass some cars I think nothing of it and continue driving. Hit a gas station and get back on the freeway. Make it another 40 miles and I notice ECT is starting to cruise up past 210... Pull over and find the coolant hose from the intake manifold to the water neck has a hole in it and has leaked all the visible coolant from the radiator....

2 hours and an angry wife later I fixed the hose on the side of I-5 and continue on my journey. I get to PIR, get teched and cruise up to the line. Great night to be there, hardly anyone around as they all thought it was going to rain. First pass ignition cuts out on the launch and roll down the track frustrated. Check everything out and line up again. Spin off the line and the car feels alive this time. Track is so dark I can't tell where the trap is though lol don't know if I let off early or not but you may be able to figure it out from my slip. Happy as hell I go back to stage but as I do the rain starts to fall, I open my window to hear the announcer say they're heading home as the storm is within 5 minutes of the track and it's started to sprinkle already.

300 miles and 8 hours to get 1 pass in.... at least I didn't have to wait till next year I guess...

Breakdown of my run(keep in mind this is on a untested, unfinished tune with 205 street tires on):
R/T: .643
60' : 2.269
330: .000 - guess it wasn't working
1/8 : 8.759
MPH: 90.94
1/4: 12.9
MPH: 118.54

Looks like it got some traction on the big end.
