Thinking about this comment from an arm's length back...... How does the car run when it runs? It is a lower compression engine. It should idle easy, rev easy - not fast - just easy, and not sound stressed at all. It is a 140-160-ish hp car. It should be "chillin" when it runs if set up right, it can't do much more.

Where are you located? May be as simple as a fellow pelican with some experience under his belt to just listen to it. Also, a private youtube video of the engine running with the link posted here may shed some light.
