as the title says, when im stationary, when the car is cold (no issues when engine is warm) when the clutch is out not in gear, the idle is fine, but when i clutch in and engage first, while stile staying stationary, the revs drop about 50-100 rpm, what causes this? and its weird how it doesnt do this when the engine is warm.

any ideas?

At the top of the clutch pedal there is a small pushrod that gets pushed into the master cylinder. This rod can be adjusted as clutches wear out etc. Have a look at this push rod. U will need a light to see it. Then with ur hand see how much freeplay(travel without touching the mastercylinder) there is. If there is a bit, adjust the pushrod so it moves towards the master to remove most of the freeplay. Make sure there is still a tiny bit of freeplay or ur clutch will slip.

Doing this will act as if u are pushing the clutch pedal further. Which inturn disengages the clutch more and should fix the creeping issue u have

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
