GySgtFrank will become famous soon enough
I will assume most of this is the frustration talking. These cars can drive one to heavy drinking.

This is a relatively small site. It has some very knowledgeable people, but no one knows everything and most won't chime in on a thread unless they have some pretty solid advice (or at least think they do) for your problem. On a lot of sites you will get all kinds of arm chair mechanics chiming in with inane advice running you in all kinds of directions (it is the internet after all). Most here won't do that as it only makes your problems worse and we've all been down that road. Most advice given is more to point you in the right direction to do your reading as it is almost impossible to diagnose a car on the internet. It's up to you to sort through what applies in your case and do your research on the problem. Learning new things is most of the fun.

One other bit of advice. Don't ever say that you're a street racer if you want to be taken seriously. That throws up all kinds of red flags as only poseurs, or homocidal maniacs, would endanger everyone else that way and it gives the rest of us a bad rep. We welcome anyone here, but don't expect to be coddled or have all the answers delivered to you on a silver platter. We want to see you succeed in getting your car running right, which means learning how and why it works as it does. The internet sites are more for talking to others with the same interests than as a means of getting your car fixed. So take anything you hear with a grain of salt and a heavy dose of research.

Hopefully you decide we're worth hanging out with, but ultimately it's your choice.
